We’re building the original installation team at One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning of Greater Hartford.

We’re looking for an experienced Connecticut D-2 or S-2 licensed Lead HVAC Installer who wants more than another installation job.

We want someone who takes pride in craftsmanship, understands that details matter, knows how to lead an installation professionally, and wants an opportunity to help establish the standards for a growing HVAC company.

You’ll be one of the people who helps determine what “great installation” means at our company.

$40–$48/hour base pay
, depending on license, experience, leadership capability, and technical expertise.

Plus:

• Overtime opportunities
• Performance/productivity incentives
• Advancement opportunities as the installation department grows

Strong performers have the opportunity to earn approximately $85,000–$110,000+ annually

As our Lead HVAC Installer, you’ll:

• Lead residential HVAC system replacements and installations
• Install furnaces, air conditioners, heat pumps, air handlers, and related equipment
• Complete ductwork and system modifications as required
• Perform electrical and refrigerant-related installation work within license scope
• Ensure proper startup, commissioning, and system operation
• Follow manufacturer specifications, applicable codes, permit requirements, and company standards
• Maintain clean, organized, professional job sites
• Protect customers’ homes and property
• Communicate professionally with homeowners
• Identify installation challenges before they become problems
• Work effectively with apprentices and installation helpers
• Teach and develop less-experienced team members
• Maintain company tools, equipment, vehicles, and inventory

We’re especially interested in candidates with experience in:

• Heat-pump installations

• Electrical troubleshooting
• System commissioning
• Airflow and static-pressure testing
• Indoor air quality products
• Leading installation crews
• Training apprentices
• Service Titan or similar field-service technology

Technical skill is only part of what we’re looking for.

A Lead Installer sets the standard for everyone working beside them.

We want someone who can say:

“This installation has my name on it, and I’m proud of it.”

That means doing the job safely, correctly, cleanly, and professionally—even when nobody is watching.

We’re building a learn-it-all culture, not a know-it-all culture.

We value people who are:

• Dependable
• Accountable
• Coachable
• Team-oriented
• Customer-focused
• Detail-oriented
• Self-motivated
• Proud of their craft

Experience should create confidence—not arrogance.

Our best people will teach others, accept feedback themselves, solve problems, take ownership, and continuously improve.

This is an opportunity to join the company while we’re still…
