Work the metro, sleep at home

Houston Air Experts is three people and two vans, and it grows by adding a person at a time, when the work honestly calls for one. If you like systems, attics, and a day that ends, keep reading.

What it is like here

Marcus founded this company after a career in commercial building engineering, so the shop runs the way a good mechanical room does. Every diagnosis gets located in its chain. Every route gets built by a person who knows the metro's corridors. You explain the failure to the homeowner in plain words, in the language of stages and links, and you go home when the day is done. The far job is Conroe or Baytown, not another state.

AC and Heating Technician

Full-time. Two or more years of residential repair work, air conditioners and heat pumps first, furnaces alongside, and the habit of locating a failure before replacing a part. Clean driving record and your own hand tools; the specialty instruments are provided. You should be comfortable with a homeowner standing in the attic doorway asking questions, because here the chain gets explained in plain words and questions are invited. Saturdays rotate across the whole crew, Marcus included.

Apprentice

Full-time, no HVAC experience required, mechanical sense absolutely required. You will ride with Marcus or Priya, learn how a system is supposed to run before you learn how it fails, and keep the record on every call until the habit is yours. Several strong technicians we know started exactly here, carrying tools and asking the second question.

To apply

Write to [email protected] with the subject line Careers, and tell us about a time you fixed something by understanding the system it belonged to instead of swapping the obvious part. That story is the application. We read every one, and we answer every one.
