From Apprentice To Lead Installer
The Installation Apprenticeship Program is designed to build confident, capable installers through hands-on field experience and structured mentorship. James embraced that approach from day one.
Throughout the program, he developed technical HVAC skills while strengthening communication, leadership, and customer service abilities. By learning directly in the field, James built the confidence to take ownership of installations and make informed decisions under pressure.
“My experience as an apprentice was both enjoyable and insightful. I had the opportunity to learn a wide range of skills, not only related to HVAC, but also in communication, leadership, and working with customers and coworkers. The apprenticeship was very hands-on, which fits my learning style well, and I believe that approach helped me progress quickly. Being able to learn by doing, rather than just watching, made the work more engaging and allowed me to build confidence in my abilities early on.
Some advice I would give to future apprentices is to approach every job as if your lead technician isn’t there. Take ownership of tasks and practice making decisions on your own. Before starting a task, slow down, think it through, and decide the best course of action instead of just jumping in. Mistakes will happen, and that’s okay. Most things can be fixed or redone. What matters is that you made a decision and learned from it. This builds confidence and trust in yourself, so when you’re out in the field with your instructor or eventually on your own, you’re better prepared to make informed decisions based on real experience.”

“He took care of our entire HVAC system and showed us how to maximize the use of our thermostat and actually put control of it on our phones. We have NEVER had a service rep from ANY company as good and conscientious as James.”
– Dayton Customer
“I’d give them an extra couple of stars if I could. Brian, who came out and did the estimate, and Kyle and James, who did the installation, were all top-notch. Knowledgeable and professional from the moment they got here until they drove away. This is how getting a new AC and furnace is supposed to be. Highly recommend them.”
– Carey from Upper Arlington, OH
“My experience was perfect. Shane and James worked without a break to complete the HVAC installation in one day. They took care of the house during the installation and cleaned up everything when done. The job was done perfectly the first time. Everything was well planned out, neat, and organized. The installation was done a little over a month ago, and everything has worked perfectly, even with the recent single-digit temperatures.”
