Entry Level HVAC Technician – Paid 12 Week Training Program

Metro Plumbing, Heating & Air – Chattanooga, TN

This program is designed to train future HVAC Service Technicians who are skilled at diagnosing comfort system problems, communicating clearly with homeowners, and recommending solutions.

This is a technician development program, not a licensed HVAC contractor program.

Training is primarily hands-on and field based, including ride-along experience with experienced technicians and limited classroom instruction.

Limited seats are available for each training class.

Program Schedule

Our training program runs in cohorts that begin approximately every 12 weeks.

Applicants may be selected for the next available class or contacted for future classes later in the year.

During the 12-week program you will learn:

• Residential HVAC system fundamentals
• Heating and cooling system diagnostics
• Preventative maintenance procedures
• How to communicate clearly with homeowners

Successful participants will be prepared to move into an HVAC Service Technician role within our company.

This hands-on exposure helps trainees learn the tools, materials, and workflow used by our technicians every day.
