Residential HVAC Installer

Residential HVAC Installer

Year-Round Work • Competitive Hourly Pay + Uncapped Sales Commissions • 100% Company-Paid Employee Health Insurance • Take-Home Truck

R.J. Heating & Cooling is hiring an experienced lead HVAC installer who wants consistent work, strong benefits, and the opportunity to earn additional income through equipment upgrades, parts, and indoor air quality products they sell.

Family-owned and serving Northeast Ohio since 1946, we offer steady, year-round work, properly planned jobs, realistic installation times, and support in the field. We’re looking for someone who can lead installations, work independently, and take pride in doing the job right.

Pay and Earning Opportunities

Your compensation includes competitive hourly pay based on experience and installation skills, plus uncapped commissions on upgrades and additional products you sell:

• 2.5% on equipment upgrades you sell
• 5% on additional parts you sell
• 10% on indoor air quality products you sell

Estimated annual earning potential is $60,000–$100,000, including hourly wages, commissions, and spiffs. This is a projected range, not a guaranteed salary. Actual earnings depend on your hourly rate, hours worked, and eligible sales and incentives.

Commissions apply to upgrades and additional sales you personally make—not the original equipment or materials you are assigned to install. Equipment upgrade commissions are calculated on the additional upgrade sale amount.

Additional earning opportunities include other incentives and company contests as offered.

Your primary responsibility is completing quality installations. When you identify an upgrade or additional product that meets the customer’s needs, you have the opportunity to earn more through honest recommendations.

Benefits and Support

• 100% company-paid employee health insurance
• Take-home company truck and fuel card
• 401(k) with company match
• Paid vacation and holidays
• Dental and vision insurance available
• Company-paid life insurance
• Uniforms provided
• Company phone or tablet, depending on position
• Overtime opportunities
• Organized job planning and strong field support

What You’ll Do

• Lead residential HVAC installations, with occasional light commercial work.
• Install furnaces, air conditioners, heat pumps, ductless mini-splits, and hot-water and steam boiler systems.
• Coordinate materials and installation tasks to complete jobs properly and efficiently.
• Guide installation helpers and maintain quality workmanship.
• Complete system startup and testing, and explain equipment operation to customers.
• Identify appropriate upgrades and additional indoor comfort products.
• Complete accurate job records and communicate with the office and customers.
• Maintain a clean, safe work area and protect customers’ homes and property.

What We’re Looking For

• At least four years of HVAC installation experience
• Hot-water and steam boiler installation experience preferred
• At least two years of lead installer experience
• Ability to complete installations independently and guide a helper
• EPA Universal certification
• Valid driver’s license with an acceptable driving record
