Becoming an HVAC technician typically starts with an apprenticeship, which combines hands-on experience with classroom learning, allowing individuals to earn while they learn. Apprenticeships last about three to five years, requiring many hours of training under licensed professionals. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects a 6% job growth for HVAC technicians from 2022 to 2032. Apprentices in St. Louis earn an average of $869.79 per week, with an annual overtime average of approximately $45,329. Vocational schools, trade unions, and platforms like the St. Louis HVAC Training Center help aspiring technicians find apprenticeship opportunities, leading to a career with strong earning potential—often exceeding $57,300 annually for experienced professionals.
