Job Description: Senior Residential HVAC Service Technician — $40–$60/hr + Full Benefits Scarpignato Plumbing & Heating LLC
Location: Aston, PA — Serving Delaware County and Surrounding Areas
Job Type: Full-Time
Pay: $40–$60 per hour, based on experience and technical expertise, plus full benefits and future performance-based earning opportunities. We're Looking for an Exceptional HVAC Technician to Help Build Our New Division. Scarpignato Plumbing & Heating LLC is expanding into residential HVAC, and we're looking for a highly experienced, technically proficient HVAC professional to be the foundation of our new division. We're not looking for an average service technician. We're looking for the technician other technicians call when they can't figure something out. Someone who has spent years mastering their trade. Someone who understands how HVAC systems operate, why they fail, and how to properly diagnose and repair them. We're an established plumbing and heating company with extensive experience in residential plumbing, boilers, hydronic heating, and complex mechanical systems. Our technicians take pride in their knowledge and craftsmanship, and we expect our HVAC division to operate at that same level. We need someone who brings that depth of HVAC knowledge and experience to our company from day one. This is a unique opportunity for a seasoned HVAC technician who wants more than just another service position.
About Our Company: Founded in 2012, Scarpignato Plumbing & Heating has grown from a one-person business into an established, multi-truck plumbing and heating operation serving Delaware County and surrounding communities. Our company specializes in residential plumbing, hydronic heating, boilers, water heaters, underground utility installations, and trenchless pipe replacement. We've built a strong reputation through technical knowledge, quality workmanship, and doing right by our customers. We already have the infrastructure needed to support an HVAC division, including an established customer base, office and dispatch personnel, marketing, service vehicles, equipment resources, and operational systems. We are locally and independently owned. We are not private-equity-backed, and we have no intention of selling to private equity. Our goal is to build a company where exceptional tradespeople have the opportunity to grow professionally and financially.
The Experience and Technical Knowledge We Require: We're seeking someone with 10–15+ years of substantial residential HVAC experience preferred, with extensive hands-on experience in service, diagnostics, repairs, and equipment installations. This is a senior-level position requiring advanced technical knowledge and the ability to work independently. The ideal candidate will possess: Expert-level diagnostic and troubleshooting abilities involving residential air conditioning, gas furnaces, and heat pump systems. Thorough understanding of refrigeration principles, refrigerant charging, superheat, subcooling, and system performance. Advanced electrical troubleshooting abilities, including interpreting wiring diagrams and diagnosing control boards, motors, relays, sensors, and electrical components. Extensive knowledge of gas heating systems, combustion, venting, safety controls, and proper equipment operation. Strong understanding of airflow, duct design, static pressure, and equipment sizing. Experience diagnosing difficult, intermittent, or previously misdiagnosed HVAC problems. Extensive experience with residential HVAC equipment replacement, installation, and system commissioning. Knowledge of high-efficiency equipment, variable-speed systems, and modern HVAC technology. Familiarity with applicable mechanical codes, manufacturer specifications, and industry best practices. The ability to evaluate an entire HVAC system and identify underlying issues rather than simply replacing failed components.
Additional Requirements: EPA Section 608 certification appropriate for the work performed. Valid driver's license and acceptable driving record. Strong communication and customer service skills. Professional appearance and respect for customers' homes. Ability to independently manage residential service calls from diagnosis through repair or replacement recommendations. A strong commitment to workmanship, safety, and accountability. We understand that years of experience alone don't necessarily make someone an expert. We're looking for someone who has used those years to develop exceptional technical ability, judgment, and understanding of the HVAC trade.
The Opportunity: Initially, you'll serve as our lead residential HVAC service technician, handling service calls, troubleshooting, repairs, and evaluating equipment replacement opportunities. You'll also work directly with ownership to help establish the technical standards, procedures, tools, and equipment necessary to develop our HVAC division. We're not asking you to build an entire company from scratch. We've already built the office, administrative, marketing, dispatching, and customer-service infrastructure. We're looking for the HVAC expertise to complement what we've already established in plumbing and hydronic heating. As the division grows, opportunities may become available to help train technicians, take on leadership responsibilities, and participate in additional performance-based compensation. However, moving into management is not a requirement. We value highly skilled technicians who want to continue working in the field. Ever Considered Starting Your Own HVAC Business? If you're an accomplished HVAC technician who's thought about going out on your own, we'd especially like to speak with you. You may already possess the technical ability to run your own HVAC company. But owning a business also means dealing with advertising, insurance, payroll, scheduling, employees, equipment investments, and countless administrative responsibilities. We've already built the infrastructure to handle those responsibilities. We're offering the right individual an opportunity to help grow an HVAC division within an established company, with the potential for substantial professional and financial advancement.
Compensation & Benefits
Starting Pay: $40–$60 Per Hour
Compensation will reflect your experience, technical capabilities, and ability to independently perform at a senior level. We offer: Competitive guaranteed hourly compensation Full medical benefits Paid vacation Company-provided uniforms Fully equipped company service vehicle Year-round, full-time employment Established scheduling, dispatching, and administrative support Direct communication with company ownership Opportunities for additional training and professional development Potential advancement into an HVAC leadership position Opportunity to transition into a performance-based compensation structure combining guaranteed hourly pay with a percentage of gross profit generated Our goal is to create an environment where exceptional technical ability, hard work, and contribution to the company's success are financially rewarded. We're Looking for the Right Person, Not Just Someone to Fill a Position. We take pride in the technical knowledge and experience we've developed throughout our plumbing and hydronic heating operations. We're looking for an HVAC professional who shares that pride in their trade. Someone who can confidently handle complicated service calls, properly diagnose problems, explain solutions to customers, and stand behind their workmanship. Someone who understands that being a great technician means more than knowing how to install equipment or replace parts. If you're an experienced HVAC professional who takes pride in being exceptionally good at what you do—and you're interested in helping build something with long-term potential—we'd like to have a conversation. All applications and inquiries will be handled confidentially. Scarpignato Plumbing & Heating LLCAston, PAwww.Scarpignatoplumbing.com
