Start your career in Appliance Repair with Yale Appliance!

We're hiring both entry-level and experienced Appliance Repair Technicians. Whether you're new to the trade or already skilled, this is your chance to start a stable, rewarding career in a hands-on, problem-solving, and technology-driven trade with a company that values its employees and supports their growth every step of the way.

Why Appliance Repair?

• A growing industry that's no longer taught in schools.
• The average Massachusetts home has 5+ appliances, but the state has only about 660 trained Appliance Repair Technicians.
• That's a huge demand with very few people who can do the work.

Bring your background in HVAC/R, electrical, electronics, or plumbing and we'll train you to troubleshoot, diagnose, and repair home appliances.

Training Program ~ Learn & Earn

We'll set you up to succeed in our 1,000-hour paid training program (no unpaid apprenticeship required):

• Classroom and computer-based learning.
• Hands-on practice in our shop.
• Shadowing on the road with experienced Technicians.
• Mentorship, resources, and ongoing support.
• Training in customer communication and conflict resolution.

After 6 months, you'll ride along with a trainer for a few weeks to make sure you're confident before going out on your own.
