Did you know that HVAC technicians do not get paid enough? I have no idea what is wrong with people, but they always think that HVAC technicians get paid way more than they actually do, and I am here to set the record straight.
Not only do HVAC technicians not get paid enough by my standards, but even by national standards, HVAC technicians do not get paid enough.
According to national salary statistics, HVAC technicians make less than the average citizen. I know that a lot of people would be shocked to find out that HVAC technicians make less than the national average salary. There is a reason why HVAC companies are practically begging for HVAC technicians. They are begging for HVAC technicians because nobody wants to be an HVAC technician. We are required to be educated, trained, good at math and geometry, and be able to work in dirty and tough environments. However, even with all of those requirements, HVAC technicians are still paid less than average. The reason that people think that HVAC technicians are paid too much is that the HVAC companies require their HVAC technician to charge a ton of money from their customers. The customers naturally assume that all of this money is going to the HVAC technician, but actually, only a small fraction actually goes to the HVAC technician. Most of it goes to the owner of the HVAC company. I wish that HVAC technicians get paid more, but I am afraid that the greedy owners of the HVAC company would do so by charging even more money from the customers, and I would not want that.
