Experienced Residential HVAC Lead Installer

North State Mechanical
Hastings, MN Full Time
POSTED ON 10/8/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 2/2/2027

North State Mechanical is looking for an experienced Residential HVAC Lead Installer to join our team.

This is not an entry-level position. We are looking for an experienced installer with a minimum of 7 years of residential HVAC retrofit installation experience who can confidently lead an installation from start to finish.

What We're Looking For

Our ideal installer can walk into an existing home, evaluate the installation, develop a solid plan, and complete a clean, professional install without needing someone looking over their shoulder.

You should have extensive hands-on experience with:

  • Residential furnace and air conditioner replacements
  • Retrofit installations in existing homes
  • Gas piping and venting
  • Refrigerant piping, brazing and evacuation
  • Sheet metal and duct modifications
  • Condensate and drain installation
  • Equipment start-up and commissioning
  • Troubleshooting installation-related issues
  • Reading manufacturer specifications and installation requirements
  • Working with local mechanical codes and inspection requirements
  • Leading an install and working effectively with another installer/helper
  • Communicating professionally with homeowners

Minimum 7 years of residential HVAC retrofit installation experience is required.

Compensation

$35–$45/hour, based on experience and ability, PLUS commission opportunities.

We are willing to pay for experience. If you can independently lead high-quality residential retrofit installations, we want to talk to you.

Why North State Mechanical?

North State Mechanical isn't a large corporate HVAC company.

Our owner, Tim, is Minnesota born and raised and has more than 20 years of hands-on experience in the HVAC and appliance industry. He started North State Mechanical because he believed homeowners—and the people doing the work—deserved better.

We're a small, local company where the people in the office know the people in the field, and every member of the team matters.

We believe in:

  • Doing the job correctly the first time
  • Quality workmanship
  • Treating customers and their homes with respect
  • Accountability from everyone on the team
  • Helping each other instead of pointing fingers
  • Building a company where good technicians and installers actually want to stay

Benefits

  • Competitive hourly pay
  • Commission opportunities
  • Health insurance with employer contribution
  • Employer-paid accident coverage
  • Dental and vision options
  • Short- and long-term disability benefits
  • PTO/ESST
  • Retirement benefits after eligibility period
  • Small-company environment without layers of corporate management

Who Will Be Successful Here?

We're looking for someone who takes pride in being good at the trade.

You notice when something isn't right. You don't hide mistakes. You don't leave problems for the service department to discover later. You care what the finished installation looks like, even when nobody else would notice.

You can lead an install, make good decisions in the field, complete assigned jobs in scheduled time frame, communicate with the office, work as part of a team, and treat a customer's home as if it were your own.

If you've spent years developing your skills and want to work somewhere that values that experience, we'd like to hear from you.

Apply with your resume and a brief description of your residential retrofit installation experience.
