HVAC Electrician

Job description / Role

Job Purpose:
HVAC electricians are technicians who specialize in the electrical components of such systems.

They work as individual contractors or for private companies, and may be responsible for HVAC systems in smaller buildings such as residential homes, stores or apartment buildings. They may also work at larger facilities, including office buildings, schools, hospitals and factories.

The HVAC electrician also inspects and tests these systems as necessary, determines any repairs and replaces worn or defective parts. Though specializing in electrical work, an HVAC technician has knowledge of the full system, and may work with fuel and water supply systems, air ducts and other components.
