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 Salt Lake City service roles include paid overtime, on-call rotation, take-home truck, and full tool allowance.

What's driving mechanical hiring on the Silicon Slopes corridor?

Enterprise tech campus construction (Lehi, Draper) plus adjacent data center work. Contractors are actively recruiting senior PMs and superintendents from Boise, Denver, and Phoenix to close the local supply gap.
