What are the responsibilities and job description for the Experienced HVAC Installer position at Northern Heating & Cooling, Inc.?
Northern Heating & Cooling has been keeping Great Falls and the surrounding communities comfortable since 1963. We're a locally owned company, and over the years we've built a solid reputation by doing quality work, treating our customers right, and standing behind what we do.
We handle a little bit of everything—from residential heating and cooling to commercial and light industrial work throughout North Central Montana. That means there's plenty of variety, and you're not doing the exact same install every day.
Right now, we're looking for an experienced HVAC Installer to add to our crew. We're looking for someone who already knows the trade, can confidently handle residential installations from start to finish, and isn't afraid to jump in and figure things out when a job doesn't go exactly as planned.
This isn't an entry-level position. We need someone who's comfortable with equipment installation, sheet metal and ductwork, gas piping, venting, line sets, and the other day-to-day work that comes with a complete HVAC installation. Most importantly, we're looking for someone who's dependable, works well with the crew, and takes pride in leaving behind a job that's done right.

- Install residential furnaces, air conditioners, heat pumps, boilers, mini-splits, and other HVAC equipment
