HVAC Business Basics
for Independent Technicians

Is Running Your Own HVAC Business Right for You?

Going independent is one of the most rewarding - and challenging - moves an HVAC technician can make. The earning potential is significantly higher than working for someone else, but so is the responsibility. This course gives you the foundational knowledge to make informed decisions and launch your business correctly.

? Realistic Expectations

Most successful independent HVAC contractors spent 3-5 years working for established companies before going solo. The technical skills come from the field - this course covers the business skills that schools and employers rarely teach. Combined, they make a complete technician-entrepreneur.
