Installation/New Construction Technician

Position Overview

Heat Busters A/C, LLC is seeking two experienced HVAC installation/new construction technicians for a large residential renovation project(s) in Palm Beach County.

This is an opportunity to work on a professionally managed installation involving multiple high-efficiency inverter systems, dehumidification, custom fiberglass duct board fabrication, refrigerant piping, equipment installation, and complete linear air distribution systems.

We are looking for technicians who take pride in producing clean, professional work—not just getting equipment running.

Applicants should be dependable, able to work independently, and understand clean aesthetic HVAC equipment installation and duct work practices.

Our Standard
