Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning Installer Technician

Install Technician – Great Northern Heating & Air

Flathead winters don't care how good your closing ratio is. They care whether the system was installed right. If you'd rather spend your day setting line sets than reading off a price sheet, Great Northern Heating & Air wants to talk to you.

We're hiring an experienced Install Technician to join our team in the Flathead Valley. You'll own clean, code-compliant installs from start-up to walkthrough, and you'll be paid like the skilled tradesperson you are.

Let's Be Clear: This Is Not a Sales Job

A lot of "technician" postings out there are really commission sales roles with a van. This isn't one of them. There are no sales quotas, no upsell scripts, and no pressure to sell homeowners equipment they don't need.

This is a true install technician position. Your job is to put in quality systems, do it right the first time, and leave every jobsite better than you found it.

What You'll Do

• Install ductless and ducted mini-split systems of all configurations, including single-zone, multi-zone, wall-mount, ceiling cassette, and concealed duct units
• Install gas and electric furnaces, air handlers, and central air systems
• Install air-source and cold-climate heat pumps built for Montana winters
• Run and braze line sets, pull vacuum, charge systems, and perform start-up and commissioning
• Handle low-voltage wiring, thermostats, and controls, and coordinate line-voltage work as needed
• Install and modify ductwork, venting, condensate, and gas piping to code
• Keep jobsites clean, protect customers' homes, and walk homeowners through their new system
• Complete job documentation, photos, and paperwork accurately and on time
• Mentor and lead apprentices or helpers on install crews

What You Bring

Required

• 5+ years of hands-on residential and/or light commercial HVAC installation experience
• Proven ability to install mini-splits of all types, furnaces, and heat pumps from start to finish
• EPA 608 Universal certification
• Strong working knowledge of brazing, evacuation, charging, and system start-up
• Solid understanding of local mechanical and fuel gas codes
• Valid driver's license and a clean driving record
• Your own hand tools, plus a professional attitude and pride in clean work

A Big Plus

• Hydronic and boiler installation experience
• Manufacturer training or certifications (Mitsubishi, Fujitsu, Daikin, etc.)
• Experience leading an install crew

What We Offer

• Pay: $30–$40+/hour, depending on experience
• Yearly Incentive Bonus: $8,000–$10,000, based on performance metrics
• Retirement: 401(k) with company match
• Health insurance
• Paid time off (PTO)
