HVAC Careers in Las Vegas | Join The Cooling Company

Why Build Your HVAC Career at The Cooling Company

We are a family-owned business started by Wellington and Tiago Santana. We operate differently from big-box HVAC companies. When you join TCC, you join a team of fewer than 50 people where leadership knows your name, your goals, and what you need to grow. Here is what that means in practice:

• Lennox Premier Dealer status: one of the most selective dealer designations in the HVAC industry. You will work with Lennox equipment, get factory-training access, and carry the credibility of that brand on every call.
• Company vehicle and fuel card for all field technicians and install crews. No driving your personal vehicle to jobs.
• Uniforms, tools, and equipment provided so you show up ready, not out-of-pocket.
• Health insurance: medical coverage available to full-time employees.
• Paid time off: because family time matters and burnout is not a business strategy.
• No callbacks just to upsell: we run honest diagnostics, give customers written options, and document everything with photos. You do the job right once.
• A team that backs you: if you hit an unexpected situation in the field, dispatch and leadership are reachable and ready to help, not just to check up on you.

Las Vegas HVAC Market: What Working Here Is Really Like

Las Vegas is one of the most demanding HVAC markets in the country. Summers regularly exceed 115 degrees Fahrenheit. Rooftop equipment runs for months without rest. Dust and hard water wear systems down faster than in most cities. This is not easy work, and we do not pretend it is.

What that means for your career:

• Peak season (June through September) runs at full intensity. You will be busy, challenged, and well-compensated for it.
• Year-round demand for maintenance, heating, and commercial services keeps workloads steady outside of peak.
• Real diagnostic complexity: Las Vegas homes and businesses have conditions that build your skills fast. Calcium buildup on evaporator coils, excessive dirt loading, heat-soaked attics, you will learn things here you would not encounter in a temperate climate.
• High customer expectations: Las Vegas homeowners value fast response, clear communication, and technicians who explain what they found and why. That is exactly how we train.

Open Positions

Service Technician (all levels)

Diagnose and repair residential and light commercial HVAC systems across the Las Vegas Valley. You will handle diagnostic calls, maintenance visits, and equipment repairs. TCC service technicians are expected to document every visit with photos, present customers with written options, and represent the company with professionalism.

What we look for:

• EPA 608 Universal Certification (required)
• 2+ years of HVAC field experience
• Valid Nevada driver's license with clean record
• Ability to read schematics and use diagnostic equipment
• Strong communication, you explain what you found, what it means, and what options the customer has

Compensation: $24-$44/hr based on experience and certifications. Top-of-market for technicians who bring skill and professionalism. Peak-season overtime (June through September) adds meaningfully to annual earnings.

Apply for Service Technician

Install Technician (all levels)

Install complete HVAC systems, split systems, packaged units, ductwork modifications, and accessories, in residential and light commercial settings. You will work in two-person crews, an Install Technician paired with a Support Installer, and follow TCC's commissioning checklists to ensure every install is completed to manufacturer and code standards.

What we look for:

• 2+ years of HVAC installation experience
• Experience with refrigerant line sets, ductwork, and electrical connections
• Physical ability to work in attics, crawlspaces, and on rooftops in summer heat
• Valid Nevada driver's license
• EPA 608 certification preferred

Compensation: $28-$38/hr based on experience and certifications. Performance bonuses available for productivity and quality.

Apply for Install Technician

HVAC Helper / Apprentice

Entry-level opportunity for people who want to build an HVAC career from the ground up. You will shadow and assist experienced technicians and installers, learn equipment, tools, and diagnostic fundamentals, and develop the skills needed to advance to a full technician role. No prior HVAC experience required, a strong work ethic, reliability, and a real interest in the trade are what matter.

What we look for:

• Willingness to work hard and learn
• Valid Nevada driver's license
• Ability to pass a background check
• Physical fitness for field work in outdoor heat
• EPA 608 certification a plus, we will support you in obtaining it

Compensation: $18-$24/hr with a clear path to technician pay as your skills and certifications develop. Helpers who advance quickly can reach full technician rates within their first year.

Apply as HVAC Helper / Apprentice

Customer Service Representative / Dispatcher

The first voice a customer hears when they call TCC. You will schedule service calls, handle inbound inquiries, coordinate with technicians in the field, and make sure customers feel informed and cared for throughout every interaction. This role requires clear communication, fast thinking during peak-season volume, and the ability to stay calm when multiple calls come in at once.

What we look for:

• Strong verbal communication, you are TCC's voice on the phone
• Experience in customer service, dispatch, or call center environments preferred
• Ability to manage multiple tasks and prioritize urgent calls
• Comfort with scheduling software and digital tools
• Bilingual (English/Spanish) a significant plus

Compensation: $19-$26/hr based on experience. Bilingual candidates at the top of the range.

Apply for Customer Service / Dispatcher

Warehouse / Inventory Control

Keep the field supplied. You will manage reorder levels across the parts catalogue, raise and receive purchase orders across multiple vendors, maintain bin locations and labeling, stage parts and equipment for the next day's install jobs, restock technician vans against their assigned parts lists, and run accuracy counts to keep the system honest. When a technician completes a call on the first visit because the part was on the van, that is this role working correctly.

What we look for:

• Accuracy over speed, this is inventory control rather than high-volume picking
• Comfort working in inventory software daily
• Warehouse, inventory, parts counter, or logistics experience preferred, HVAC parts knowledge is taught
• Physical ability to lift and move equipment and materials
• Valid Nevada driver's license
• Ability to pass a background check

Compensation: $18-$24/hr based on experience. This role is also one of the strongest on-ramps into the trade, since you handle every part in the catalogue and arrive at a field role already fluent in what things are and what they do.

Apply for Warehouse / Inventory Control

Comfort Advisor

Run in-home consultations for system replacement, on appointments the homeowner booked for that purpose. You measure the house, run a Manual J load calculation, evaluate ductwork and electrical, and present written options that do not expire. If the existing system can be repaired instead, you say so and put the repair cost next to the replacement cost. You are never dispatched to take over another technician's service call.

What we look for:

• Consultative in-home or high-ticket sales experience, solar and other home improvement backgrounds transfer well
• Genuine mechanical curiosity, the load calculation is the job rather than paperwork around it
• Willingness to recommend a repair over a replacement when that is the honest answer
• Clear written documentation, your proposal is what the install crew and the permit package are built from
• Valid Nevada driver's license with clean record

Compensation: $80,000-$250,000 OTE (on-target earnings), base plus performance. Where you land in that range is driven by close rate and average ticket, not by tenure. We discuss the specifics in the first conversation, and you should ask about how the two components fit together.

Levels Within Each Role

Every role here has levels, and where you land is set by what you can demonstrate, not by how long you have been here. If you can already do the work of the next level, that is the conversation, and it can happen in any month of the year.

The figures below are on-target annual earnings (OTE): base pay plus commission, incentives, and bonuses at target performance. They are not a base salary and they are not a ceiling. Base rates are listed with each role above.

Service Technician levels: $24-$44/hr

• Service Technician: runs residential diagnostic, maintenance, and repair calls independently. EPA 608 Universal required. OTE $80,000 to $110,000.
• Senior Technician: advanced diagnostics on the calls nobody else solved, light commercial work, and mentoring helpers who ride along. OTE $140,000 to $200,000.
• Lead Technician: the technical escalation point for the field. When a technician is stuck, you are who they call. Sets the standard for what "diagnosed correctly" means here. OTE $220,000 and up.

Install Technician levels: $28-$38/hr

• Install Technician: works within a two-person crew on residential changeouts, ductwork, and accessories. OTE $70,000 to $90,000.
• Senior Install Technician: runs the full range independently, including package units, full duct replacements, and ductless systems. Assignable to any job on the board. OTE $120,000 to $180,000.
• Crew Lead: owns the install from load-out through commissioning and the customer walkthrough, makes the call when existing conditions do not match the scope, and develops the helper riding with them. OTE $230,000 and up.

Helper and Apprentice levels: $18-$24/hr

• Helper: assists install crews and service technicians, learns equipment, tools, and fundamentals. No experience required to start.
• Apprentice: working toward or holding EPA 608, taking on supervised work independently, and closing in on technician pay.

Maintenance Technician level: $21-$26/hr

• Maintenance Technician: runs scheduled maintenance visits alone, full system inspection, coil and drain cleaning, filters, refrigerant and airflow checks, and a written report on what was found. This is the rung above apprentice and the prerequisite to Service Technician. You are not sent on open-ended diagnostic calls yet, which is the line between this role and the technician role.

Support Installer level: $22-$28/hr

• Support Installer: the second seat on a two-person install crew, working alongside the Installer through load-out, removal, set, line sets, ductwork, and clean-up. A defined crew role rather than a ride-along, and the direct path into Install Technician.

Customer Service and Dispatch levels: $19-$26/hr

• Customer Service Representative: the first voice a customer hears, handling inbound calls and scheduling.
• Dispatcher: coordinates technicians in the field, prioritizes emergency calls, and holds the board together through peak-season volume. Bilingual candidates sit at the top of the range.

Warehouse and Inventory Control levels: $18-$24/hr

• Warehouse Associate: receiving, put-away, job staging, and van restocking.
• Inventory Control Specialist: owns reorder strategy across the parts catalogue, purchase orders and vendor follow-up, and accuracy counts.

Above all of these sit Field Supervisor and Operations Leadership, which we fill by promoting from within. We are also building the Ascent Program to make that path structured rather than informal. That program is still in development, and we say so plainly rather than advertising something that does not exist yet.

The Career Path at TCC

We promote from within. Here is what the career ladder looks like for field technicians:

• Helper / Apprentice: learning the trade, assisting on installs and service calls, building fundamentals
• Maintenance Technician: running scheduled maintenance visits on your own, the prerequisite to full technician. On the install side, the equivalent rung is Support Installer, the second seat on a two-person crew
• HVAC Technician: independent service and install capability, EPA 608 certified
• Senior Technician: advanced diagnostics, complex commercial work, mentoring helpers
• Lead Technician: crew leadership on large install jobs, technical escalation point
• Field Supervisor / Operations Leadership: for those who want to grow into management

Advancement is tied to demonstrated skill, certifications, and the results you produce for customers, not seniority. If you develop faster than average, you advance faster than average.

What Our Team Says

"Every install is a chance to do something right for a family. At TCC, we follow a process that makes sure nothing gets missed, and the team always has your back if you run into something unexpected. I have grown more here than anywhere else I have worked."
Marco Rendon: Installation Specialist

Norma Medina: Customer Service

A Day in the Life at TCC

A typical day for a service technician at TCC starts with a morning dispatch. You pick up your assigned calls for the day, usually a mix of diagnostic calls and scheduled maintenance visits. Each call is logged through our dispatch system. When you arrive, you document the equipment, run diagnostics, and give the homeowner a written summary of what you found and what their options are. No high-pressure sales. No invented problems. You fix what needs fixing and document it with photos.

Dispatch stays in touch throughout the day. If you hit something unusual, you have backup. When the workday wraps, you close out your calls, return your company vehicle, and go home. Peak season is intense. Off-peak is steadier. The work is real, the expectations are clear, and the team is genuine.

Careers FAQ

Do I need HVAC experience to apply?

It depends on the role. Service and install technician positions require 2+ years of HVAC field experience and EPA 608 certification. The Helper/Apprentice position is entry-level, no HVAC experience is required, just a strong work ethic and willingness to learn. Customer service roles require communication skills and scheduling experience, not HVAC knowledge.

What certifications does The Cooling Company require?

EPA Section 608 Universal Certification is required for all service technician and install technician positions. If you are applying as a helper or apprentice without 608 certification, we support you in getting certified as you develop in the role. A valid Nevada driver's license with a clean record is required for all field positions.

What is the pay range for HVAC technicians at The Cooling Company?

Service technicians earn $24-$44/hr based on experience and certifications. Install technicians earn $28-$38/hr. Maintenance technicians earn $21-$26/hr and support installers earn $22-$28/hr, the two rungs between apprentice and full technician. Helpers and apprentices start at $18-$24/hr with a clear path to technician pay. Customer service and dispatch roles pay $19-$26/hr. Warehouse and inventory control roles pay $18-$24/hr. These are honest ranges that reflect real pay at TCC, not lowball figures we walk back in the interview. Peak-season overtime (June through September) adds meaningfully on top of base hourly pay for field staff.

Does TCC offer overtime during peak season?

Yes. Las Vegas summers drive significant demand and field staff regularly work overtime June through September. We staff appropriately, but peak-season volume means more hours if you want them. Overtime is compensated per Nevada wage and hour law.

What does a working interview look like?

For field roles, we sometimes invite candidates to join a technician on actual service calls. This is not a test, it is a chance for you to see how we operate and for us to see how you work. You would not be expected to diagnose or repair anything independently. It is a two-way evaluation and most candidates find it useful.

Is TCC hiring part-time?

Our field positions are full-time. Customer service roles may have part-time flexibility depending on current scheduling needs. Ask when you apply.

How quickly does TCC make hiring decisions?

We move as fast as the right candidate warrants. If the fit is clear, we do not take weeks to make a decision. For urgent needs, we can complete the process in under two weeks. We respect that you may have other offers on the table and communicate our timeline clearly.

What does growth at TCC actually look like?

Growth at TCC is tied to demonstrated skill and certifications, not time served. Helpers who develop quickly move to technician within their first year. Technicians who take on harder diagnostic work and earn advanced certifications move to senior and lead roles. We have promoted from within into field supervisor and operations roles. If you want leadership, show us the capacity for it.
