Job Description:

Build a career, not just a job. Help us raise the bar for HVAC in Illinois!

We’re not your typical HVAC company. At Blue Frost Heating & Cooling, we believe this industry can do better—better training, better service, better work-life balance, and better pay. Illinois doesn’t have statewide HVAC licensing, so we hold ourselves to the highest standards anyway, with rigorous training, best practices, and real accountability. If you’re driven to be the best and want a long-term career path, we want to meet you.

What makes Blue Frost different

· Career growth on purpose: Clear career paths with defined skill goals, scheduled checkpoints, and raises tied to achievement.

· Training that actually levels you up: Paid continuing education, certifications, and mentorship across residential, light commercial, boilers, and tankless.

· Tools to do it right: Company tool account plus a tool stipend that grows with length of service to keep your kit current.

· Real time for life: 7 paid holidays—including a floating “birthday week” holiday—plus paid vacation, unlimited approved time off, and 3 sick days for short-notice needs.

· Stability year-round: Furlough program to keep you employed during slow periods, with weekends off and on-call only 1 weekend every six weeks.

· Not the cheapest—just the best: We focus on quality and making a difference for customers, and we push the industry to be better.

Compensation that rewards excellence

· Competitive hourly rate for showing up and doing the job: Senior Technicians can receive $40 - $55/hour PLUS Commissions; Service and Maintenance Technicians can receive $25 - $40/hour PLUS Commissions.
