HVAC technicians install, service, and repair heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration systems. The trade is regulated provincially and includes gas-fired equipment work under separate gas technician licensing in most provinces.

Demand is surging: residential service growth, commercial building maintenance, data center cooling expansion, and aging infrastructure replacement. On-call rotations and emergency service work typically come with significant pay premiums.
