Frequently asked questions

What certifications are required?

EPA 608 Universal is standard. NATE, factory training (Trane, Carrier, Daikin, York), and chiller / VRF experience are strong differentiators.

Commercial only or residential too?

We focus exclusively on commercial mechanical service — chillers, boilers, AHUs, RTUs, VRF, and controls — not residential HVAC.

Is overtime typical?

Yes — most Reno service roles include paid overtime, on-call rotation, take-home truck, and full tool allowance.

What kinds of projects drive mechanical hiring in Reno?

Advanced manufacturing and data center at TRIC, plus hospitality retrofit around Lake Tahoe. Per-diem and travel packages for senior field roles are common because local supply is thin.
