HVAC Installer - Residential

About Lake County Mechanical

Lake County Mechanical (LCM) is a residential heating and cooling company serving homeowners across Lake County. We're a small team that's growing, and every person here makes a real difference. There's a lot to learn, and people who take ownership of their role have room to grow with the company.

The Role

As the Lead Installer, you take ownership of residential HVAC changeouts from start to finish. You lead your crew in planning and executing installations for air conditioners, furnaces, and heat pumps, ensuring every system is installed and commissioned to the highest standards.

You’re as confident working with equipment as you are communicating with customers. From fabricating and adapting transitions and plenums to handling sheet metal, you bring the technical skills and attention to detail needed to deliver quality workmanship on every job.

Just as importantly, you understand that the customer experience matters. You keep homeowners informed throughout the day, answer their questions, and walk them through their new system before wrapping up the job. Your goal is to leave every customer confident in their investment and happy they chose to partner with us.

• Run full changeouts: furnaces, air conditioners, and heat pumps
• Fabricate and install ductwork, plenums, and fittings on site
• Braze, pressure test, evacuate, charge, and start up every system
• Direct and train your installer on every job
• Own the jobsite: safe, clean, on schedule
• Walk the homeowner through their new system before you leave

• Experience leading changeouts and directing a helper or installer
• Sheet metal skills: you build what the job needs in the field
