Why Pursue a Career in HVAC-R? Top
Homeowners have been spending more time at home the last few years. This has allowed them to identify areas for improvement in and around the house that makes living — and working from home — more comfortable. One of the improvements many homeowners have been making is upgrading their heating and cooling system to include a heat pump.
The increased demand for heat pumps, improved ventilation and indoor air quality, and ease of temperature control is showing no signs of slowing down. Innovations in HVAC-R technology are continuously improving the energy efficiency of indoor comfort systems. This is an exciting and fast-paced time for the industry.
Training to become an HVAC-R professional as an apprentice allows you to earn a living while getting hands-on training from an experienced Red Seal Journeyperson. By taking an HVAC-R related course such as Building Systems Technician, you can learn the foundational skills to better prepare you for your apprenticeship and give you an edge to gain employment.

The demand for HVAC-R professionals is a huge opportunity for those working in the trade anywhere in Canada who want to come home or build a career in Atlantic Canada. Many Daikin dealers are actively hiring apprentices, Red Seal Journeypersons, and those who are looking to add the trade to their current skillset.
