Job Description

Residential Experienced HVAC Service Technician

Nimmer Heating & Air Conditioning | Milwaukee & Waukesha County, WI | $77,000–$90,000/year, based on experience, plus monthly performance bonuses (most techs add $12,000–$25,000+/year once ramped up)

Local. Family-Owned. Not Going Anywhere.
Milwaukee families have called Nimmer for 35+ years when the heat goes out or the AC dies. We're independently owned and staying that way. If you've got 3+ years of service experience, solid boiler skills, and you're tired of being a number, let's talk.

Nimmer is run by people who know the job from both sides - Tyler came up through the field, and Marie leads with a focus on real pay growth, real time off, and real stability for techs.

Your Day-to-Day

• Diagnose and repair residential and light commercial heating (boiler and rooftop welcome), cooling, and air quality systems
• Advise customers honestly on comfort and efficiency options - no hard selling
• Mentor apprentice technicians
• Give input to your Service Manager on inventory, pricing, and training gaps

Why Techs Stay

• Take-home company vehicle
• Weekly in-house training plus outside training each Fall and Spring
• Seasonal schedule flexibility (Mon–Fri, hours shift by season)
• Flexibility for appointments, family events, and life outside work
• Company-paid annual family trip and local team outings
• Involvement with MATC/WCTC technical boards and local schools

Earning Potential
Monthly bonuses (tied to efficiency, satisfaction, and revenue) are built into every tech's pay, not reserved for top performers. Techs hitting baseline typically add $12,000–$25,000+/year, plus spiffs. Clear career ladder: Apprentice → Junior Tech → Maintenance Tech → Service Tech I → Service Tech II → Lead Tech/Field Supervisor.

Pay & Benefits

• $77,000–$90,000/year base, plus bonuses above
• Medical (80% employer-paid individual), dental, and vision
• 40 hours paid vacation + 6 paid holidays
• IRA with company match
• Company vehicle, uniform, tablet, and phone allowance

What You Bring

• Required: 3+ years continuous HVAC service experience, including boiler diagnostics/repair
• EPA Universal Certification
• NATE Core Certification (or willingness to obtain within 1 year)
• Strong electrical/refrigeration troubleshooting
• Experience mentoring other techs
• Clear communication with customers and coworkers
• Comfortable on a 28' extension ladder and 12' step ladder
• Valid, insurable driver's license
• Rooftop experience and HVAC trade school certificate a plus
• Team-first, adaptable attitude
