Residential HVAC Installer

Fifteen years ago, Modern Heating & Air Conditioning Services was founded with just one man and a single truck. Today, under the leadership of Matt Sando, we have grown into a tight-knit, thriving team of over 20 skilled professionals serving homeowners throughout the Greater New Haven area and Southern Connecticut. We do not believe in revolving doors or impulse hiring. We intentionally wait for the right craftsmen—individuals who take genuine pride in mechanical artistry, embody humility, show up on time, and value true teamwork.

In return, we provide an awesome boss, a drama-free workplace, modern trucks and equipment, and an environment where your work, your ideas, and your personal life are respected. If you are tired of being treated like a number and want to work for a company where leadership actually has your back, you have found your home at Modern Heating & Air Conditioning Services.

Homes across the Greater New Haven area are known for complex heating architecture: older steam loops, cast-iron boilers, hydronic radiant systems, oil-to-gas conversions, and next-generation multi-zone heat pumps. As our Residential HVAC Lead Installer
, you will be our mechanical anchor—leading high-caliber, "soup-to-nuts" installations that look like showroom centerpieces.

• For the Experienced HVAC Lead: You are already running boilers, furnaces, and heat pump systems smoothly, but you want better pay, real recognition, and a company that rewards your installation efficiency and clean craftsmanship.
• For the Licensed Plumber Ready to Pivot: If you hold a P-license and love hydronics, water heaters, and boiler piping—but you are thoroughly exhausted from snaking drains, clearing grease traps, and rebuilding toilets, we have a proven path for you. You can run our hydronic and boiler installs under your plumbing license today while we cross-train and support you in mastering sheet metal, refrigeration, and ductless systems to expand your credentials.

• Base Hourly Pay: $38.00 – $45.00/hour (based on license tier and hands‑on hydronic/HVAC experience).
• On-Target Earnings (OTE): $90,000 – $110,000+ per year through base pay plus an achievable $8,000 – $15,000+ in performance incentives.
• Job Completion & Efficiency Bonuses:
  • Flat Per-Job Bonus: $100 – $200 per standard split system or furnace install; $250 – $400 for complex boiler changeouts, hydronic re‑piping, and multi-zone heat pumps (split between you and your helper).
  • Labor Savings Split: Beat the labor budget without sacrificing quality, and our install crew takes home 30% to 50% of the saved labor cost.
• Quality & "Zero-Callback" Retention Spiff: $50 – $100 per completed installation deposited into a rolling quality pool, paid out when your installs run callback- and warranty-free for 30 to 60 days.
• Municipal Inspection Pass Bonus: $50 – $75 per job that passes local CT town building and mechanical inspections (New Haven, Milford, Stratford, etc.) on the very first visit.
• On–Site Add–On & Accessory Spiffs:
  • $30 – $60 for installing IAQ equipment (whole‑home humidifiers, dehumidifiers, UV air purifiers, 4‑inch media cabinets).
