Your Career as a
Union HVAC Technician
Union HVAC technicians can specialize in
Commercial Construction,
Commercial/Industrial Instrumentation,
Commercial/Industrial Maintenance,
Digital Control Instrumentation, Energy
Management Systems, Heating/Ventilation
and Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration.
Your career as a HVAC technician begins
with an apprenticeship. This is a highly
selective program and acceptance for
training depends on the applicant’s
qualifications and the manpower need of
the trade. Applicants must have a high
school diploma or equivalent. The actual
selection and supervision of the
apprenticeship program is done by
members of a joint apprenticeship
committee. This committee consists of
people with considerable experience
representing both management and labor.
After acceptance into our apprenticeship
program, you will complete 5 years
apprenticeship training at our training
facility and on-the-job
with a certified journeyperson as your
mentor. The apprenticeship training
consists of at least 10,000 hours of
on-the-job training and a minimum of
1,250 hours of related training in the
classroom. Classes are taught by
certified journeypeople who have
completed annual instructor training
programs provided by the UA, our
international union.
Upon completion of your apprenticeship,
which is registered through the Bureau
of Apprenticeship Training, U.S.
Department of Labor, you reach
journeyperson status. Local 101 offers
continuing education classes in varied
areas of specialization. New union HVAC
service technicians are evaluated for
skill level and advance through their
own initiative.
