Question

The highest-paying HVAC job is for those who own their own business. HVAC contractors typically earn anywhere from $67,573 to $209,355 a year. This amount is much higher than the average HVAC technician's average salary, 42,000 a year.

As an HVAC repair business owner, especially if you're a one-person shop, you should expect to have to work between 60 to 70 hours a week. In addition to being the primary tech, you're the customer service representative, the accountant, the scheduler, and a few. In other words, it's a lot of work, but it can be worth it.

The highest-paid jobs will depend on where you live and how long you've worked as an HVAC tech for regular HVAC technicians who do not own their own business. HVAC techs working, for example, in Massachusetts, Hawaii, Connecticut, Tennessee, Ohio, and Minnesota, all make over $50,000 a year. In comparison, HVAC techs working in Florida, New Mexico, Alabama, and North Carolina earn less than $40,000 a year.
