Lead HVAC Service & Installation Technician & RME

Your trade is your craft. We think you deserve a team that respects and nurtures that.

About This Role

We’re looking for an experienced HVAC professional with an active C-20 HVAC contractor’s license to join Aire Serv® as our Lead Technician who will also be our RME. This is a unique opportunity with a built-in path to management.

At Aire Serv®, our people come first. We’ve built our reputation over 30+ years not just on outstanding HVAC service—but on creating a workplace where skilled professionals are respected, supported, and genuinely valued. We care as much about the people wearing the Aire Serv® uniform as we do about the homeowners who trust us inside their homes.

If you’re passionate about heating and air conditioning, Aire Serv® gives you something most shops can’t: the power of a nationally recognized brand—ranked #1 in its category on Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500® (2025 and 2026)—with over 200 locations, paired with a local team that knows you by name. We back you with continuous training, state-of-the-art tools, and the latest technology so you can deliver fast, efficient service. And this isn’t a dead-end job—it’s a career with a clear path forward. We’re hiring this role with the direct intention of promoting you into a Technical Supervisor / Service Manager position once the team grows. That’s not a maybe—it’s the plan.

Our Code of Values

Everything we do at Aire Serv® is grounded in three principles: Respect, Integrity, and Having Fun In The Process. These aren’t words on a wall. They’re how we treat our customers, how we treat each other, and how we make decisions every day. As a proud member of the Neighborly® family of home service brands, we stand behind the Neighborly Done Right Promise®—which means we get the job done right, and we guarantee it.

The Role

As an HVAC Service & Installation Technician at Aire Serv®, you’re the expert our customers count on. You’ll install, service, and repair heating and cooling systems for residential customers across the Temecula Valley. You’ll diagnose problems with confidence, explain solutions clearly, and help homeowners make informed decisions about their comfort. You’ll take pride in every job and represent the Aire Serv® standard of excellence.

Responsibilities

• Install, maintain, and repair residential HVAC, refrigeration, and heating systems with precision and attention to detail
• Diagnose system issues and clearly communicate findings and solutions to homeowners
• Help customers make confident decisions by identifying opportunities for additional services or products that genuinely improve their comfort
• Ensure efficient use of materials and maintain adequate stock on your truck
• Collect payment and process customer transactions for completed work
• Maintain clear communication with dispatch, management, parts, and installation teams throughout the day
• Keep your company vehicle and equipment clean, properly serviced, and in top working condition

• Participate in the on-call rotation and perform additional duties as needed
• Invest in your own development by engaging in ongoing Aire Serv® training and education programs
• Maintain a professional appearance and attitude that reflects our code of values

What We’re Looking For

You take pride in your work, and it shows. You’re the kind of technician who does it right the first time and treats every home like your own. Here’s what we need:

• Active C-20 HVAC contractor’s license (required—must be willing to sign a separate qualifying agreement with additional compensation)
• Experienced in residential HVAC installation, service, and repair
• CFC Certification (or willingness to obtain—we’ll help you get there)
• Valid state driver’s license with a clean driving record
• Able to lift up to 60 lbs.
• Strong communication skills—you can translate technical details into language homeowners understand and trust
• Self-motivated, organized, and comfortable managing your time in a fast-moving environment
• Professional in both appearance and personality—you represent Aire Serv® with respect and courtesy
• Commercial HVAC experience is a plus—preferred but not required
