Skills

Customer Service-HVACR technicians deal with unhappy customers whose heating or air conditioning is not working, so it is important that they be friendly, polite, and punctual. HVACR technicians often work in customers’ homes or business offices and they will need to be patient, attentive, clear with communication, knowledgeable about what they are doing and use positive language. They should take the time to really listen to the customer to provide great service and get feedback on the heating and cooling products in use.

Attention to Detail-HVACR technicians have to have patience and perseverance to pursue a heating and cooling problem until it is fixed successfully. They must pay attention to the details and carefully maintain records of all work performed. When maintaining records, the HVACR technician must include the nature of the work performed, the amount of time it took, and keep a list of specific parts and equipment that were used. They will need to follow government regulations to properly handle and dispose of fluids and gases. Ultimately, the HVACR technician must have high standards of service to be efficient and be great at identifying issues with the installation, repair, maintenance and upgrade of systems.

Mechanical Skills-HVACR technicians must be comfortable with installing and working on complicated climate-control systems and they must understand the HVACR components involved to properly program, assemble, and disassemble them. They will also need to know the precise tools needed to maintain and install equipment. HVACR technicians that can work on a wide range of HVACR systems, controls, and installation methods are highly sought after.

Physical Strength & Stamina-HVACR technicians may have to lift and support heavy equipment and components. Even HVACR technicians working in a group may have large parts, equipment and objects to move. They will also need good manual dexterity to work with small parts in small spaces. Further, HVACR technicians may spend a large portion of their time walking and standing so physical stamina is important for success in the HVACR field.

Time Management-HVACR technicians frequently have a set number of daily maintenance calls that need to be completed. Limiting customer interaction is important and must be balanced with creating a positive customer experience. The HVACR technician should be able to keep a schedule and complete all necessary repairs or tasks, while also remaining organized.

Troubleshooting Skills-HVACR technicians utilize a number of different tools to perform the tasks assigned to them. However, an extremely important skillset that every technician must have includes troubleshooting, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. The Basic Electricity course at MIAT College of Technology is designed to introduce students to these important troubleshooting skills. Students are given a variety of lab assignments in order to build upon these skills, and to encourage the use of their resources to draw accurate conclusions.
