HVAC union wages by local

Journeyman base scale for HVAC technicians runs $25.75/hr to $91.00/hr an hour across the 290 UA and SMART locals whose own wage sheet we hold, with a median of $46.06/hr — about $92,120 a year at 2,000 hours, before the benefit package. Every figure below is read off that hall's published sheet and carries its effective date. All 310 UA and SMART locals in our directory are listed below; the 20 without a sheet on file yet are named with their hall so you can call for the current scale rather than read an estimate.

Union HVAC work is split between two internationals: UA service fitters and refrigeration mechanics handle the mechanical side, SMART sheet metal workers handle ductwork, TAB and air systems. There is no separate HVAC scale — you are paid the journeyman rate of whichever local holds the agreement. This page lists every UA and SMART hall whose own published wage sheet we hold, highest base rate first.

What HVAC technicians earn on union scale

Quick answers: HVAC technicians union pay

What do union HVAC technicians get paid?

Union HVAC technicians on a UA and SMART journeyman agreement earn a published base of $25.75/hr to $91.00/hr an hour, with a median of $46.06/hr — about $92,120 a year at 2,000 hours before overtime. Health, pension, annuity and training contributions are paid on top of the base rate, so the total package is often significantly higher. Rates are set locally, so the hall in your city sets the exact scale.

How do I find local HVAC technicians union rates?

Search by city, state or local number, then open the local pay scale page to check the published base rate, benefits, effective date and rate-sheet PDF. The city and state links group nearby UA and SMART halls. Check the rate sources page for citations: older sheets are historical, not a promise of today’s pay. If no sheet is on file, contact the hall; sign up for rate-update emails to follow new sheets.

Every hall listed on this page in one spreadsheet — local, hall city, journeyman base, total package and the effective date printed on the sheet. Halls with no published sheet are included with blank rate cells rather than an estimate. Free, no email required.

When these HVAC technicians rate sheets took effect

287 of the 290 UA and SMART sheets on this page carry an effective date we can read, running from 2020 to 2026. 213 took effect in 2025 or later.
