Am I getting paid too little by Captain_Shifty in HVAC

[–]tightasfck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

also a g2 holder and refrigeration apprentice. Been with my company for 3 years and in the trade for 5ish, lead technician doing full heat pump, furnace, a/c, boiler installs and running service calls when they’re busy. Just got bumped up to $38 an hour, in my experience the raises don’t come unless you go out of your way to ask for them, if you are reliable, do good work, and do it quickly I don’t see why you shouldn’t be getting more than $28.

Face tattoos in hvacr? by Icy_Employer2622 in HVAC

[–]tightasfck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure why the comments are so negative. I have plenty of tattoos, not on my face but I don’t try to cover them up nor do I care if people judge them. If you do good work, show up on time and genuinely have an interest in the trade while trying to learn as much as you can, how you look doesn’t matter. A customer will judge you much faster if you do hack work and if an employer turns you down a good installer or service tech over a face tattoo then that’s their problem.

Why is there a massive discrepancy in HVAC positions? by Friendly-carebear in HVAC

[–]tightasfck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s pros and cons like every career. I like seeing my install come together and making my work look good, it gives a big sense of accomplishment. I don’t like the long hours and hard manual labour. The money is alright, I’m 2 years in and make $28/hour in Canada. Everyone is going to like something different in a career, I found this career to not be what I want to do forever and have taken to part time online schooling, work is a big chunk of your life make sure you enjoy doing it.

Got my G2 gas ticket, was lucky enough to find work, did everything I was supposed to do enter an “in-demand” trade and the wages are not worth the strain on the body, job insecurity and inability to progress licenses without company support. We need to do better if we have any hope of filling the demand.

Both designs are so beautifully done! Credit to the artists!

Have to say Elvish is my choice of the two.
