Why is There a Demand for HVAC Technicians?

There are many contributing factors to the increased demand for HVAC technicians. Some of the most influential factors include:

The Economy

Since the pandemic, the economy has strongly rebounded2, meaning more construction, home maintenance, and HVAC system upgrades. GDP and the appetite for new homes and smart technologies have increased.

Smart Technology

The increased adoption of smart technology has contributed to the growth of the HVAC industry. HVAC technicians must install smart thermostats, air purity systems, advanced heating, and other technological advances that make a home energy efficient and comfortable. This requires fully trained HVAC technicians that can handle advanced technologies. That is where Tulsa Welding School comes into the picture.

Mother Nature

The climate crisis has created weather extremes, with colder and hotter temperatures. Texas has seen the highest temperatures in decades. The hottest day in 2024 reached a sweltering 116 degrees3, and the heat is not anticipated to retreat. Hot days mean a need for installation, repair, and maintenance of air conditioning. The demand for additional air conditioning has spurred the demand for HVAC technicians who are fully trained and ready to help customers.
