HVAC Lead Installer

Job Description

Job Description

• Lead Residential HVAC Installer
• Multi-Day Installs • Year-Round Work

Tired of racing the clock on a new install every single day?

At Smart Air Cooling and Heating, we do residential HVAC differently. Most companies in the Austin area push crews to finish a complete install in one day, then do it all over again tomorrow. That pace means rushed work, long days, constant pressure, and callbacks.

Our installs are multi-day projects. You'll have the time to do the job right, take pride in your work, and go home without feeling like you just ran a marathon.

Why Installers Like Working at Smart Air

• Top pay: $100K–$125K per year. Strong earnings without the one-day-install grind.
• Time to do quality work. Multi-day projects mean clean line sets, proper brazing and nitrogen purging, correct charging, and tidy finishes, not shortcuts to beat the clock.
• Less stress, more control. You're not loading, driving, setting up, and tearing down at a new house every day.
• You settle into one job and work at a steady, professional pace.
• Fewer callbacks. When the work isn't rushed, it's done right the first time.
• Consistent, year-round installs. No feast-or-famine seasons. We keep a steady pipeline of residential work all year long.
• Real leadership role. You'll run the job, guide your crew, and be the go-to person homeowners trust.
• 401(k) to help you plan for the future.
• Paid time off so you can actually rest.
