HVAC Installation Apprentice
We are hiring air conditioning installers at the apprentice level. A/C installers install residential A/C systems in the Central Florida area. Since installers will work in customers’ homes, we require professional conduct at all times. They must have good communication skills to instill confidence in customers. We also expect our A/C installers to perform good work that doesn’t result in callbacks shortly after finishing a job.
A/C installers must be familiar with the components of various manufacturers’ A/C systems. They will be assembling these units daily and must know them inside and out. In general, they will be charging A/C systems, performing retrofits, and completing many more startup tasks. We have plenty of on-site training opportunities and resources for our apprentices, and we try to make Kalos a great place to grow in your career.

Our customers deserve the highest-quality A/C systems. However, a system is only as good as its installer. At Kalos, we take our customers’ comfort very seriously and only hire people who will perform the highest-quality installations. Everything must work correctly before you walk away from a job, and we trust our installers to answer the customers’ questions and make them feel confident about their new A/C system. If you just want to throw parts together and get out of a job site, I suggest looking elsewhere for employment.
