The population growth rate in Dallas is projected to be 8.64% by 2028² to nearly 8.5 million residents. Additional residents mean more residential housing increases, retail, and expanded healthcare services. These residents all need HVAC systems to stay warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Refrigeration systems at grocery stores and other residential service companies require highly trained HVAC/R technicians to install, maintain, and repair. Plus, ventilation systems help keep air quality in Dallas residential and commercial buildings in a healthy range.

Increase in Construction Demand

With an increase in population comes an additional need for construction-related jobs. The Dallas area added 12,300 building sector jobs in 2023³. More construction means more demand for HVAC technicians to install, maintain, and repair HVAC/R systems. Healthcare education and entertainment are all critical drivers of the Dallas area construction boom⁴. To accommodate the increase in entertainment, the Dallas area has invested heavily in restaurants, shopping for residents, and tourism. This includes two convention centers, upscale resorts, and a shopping district.

Hotter Weather

Another reason for the demand for HVAC is climate change intensification over the next decade, with summer heat waves becoming more common and severe⁵. Summer 2023 in Dallas was 2.5 degrees hotter than the post-2000 average, which means additional usage of air conditioning units. This translates into a further need for HVAC technicians to manage air conditioning systems and components. Preventive maintenance will help keep Dallas residents comfortable during the scorching summer months.
