Graduate Opportunities
According to the State of California Employment Development Department, the median HVAC technician salary in California is over $60,000 a year and is rising because HVAC technicians are in such high demand.
Once you become an HVAC technician there are many different paths you can take to advance. Commercial and residential building construction is expected to drive employment growth up.
The growing number of sophisticated climate-control systems is also expected to increase the demand for qualified heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration (HVAC/R) technicians.
Job Outlook
Employment of heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration mechanics and installers is projected to grow 15 percent from 2018 to 2028, much faster than the average for all occupations.***
Commercial and residential building construction will drive employment growth. The growing number of sophisticated climate-control systems is also expected to increase demand for qualified HVAC/R technicians.
Repair and replacement of HVAC/R systems is a large part of what technicians do. Climate-control systems generally need replacement after 10 to 15 years. The growing emphasis on energy efficiency and pollution reduction is likely to increase the demand for HVAC/R technicians as climate-control systems are retrofitted, upgraded, or replaced entirely.
In addition, regulations prohibiting the discharge and production of older types of refrigerant pollutants will result in the need to modify or replace many existing air conditioning systems.
