Most of us are dependable on Air conditioners and they have become a vital part of our lives.  But many of us pay little attention upon air conditioning services.  We realize importance of its maintenance only when our air conditioning unit stops working or beaks down suddenly.  An air conditioning unit is very complicated system and it requires periodical and regular maintenance so as to enjoy its uninterrupted services.  An aircon unit without maintenance will cause significant hike in the electricity bills and it will lose its original efficiency for about 5 percent.

A good air conditioning servicing should include:

Cleaning foils of fan and blowers.

Checking the compressor and operating pressures and temperatures of the system.

Oiling of fan motors.

Other than servicing of air conditioning, one should buy good filters and change them regularly so as to ensure high levels of comforts.  Always the exterior units of the air conditioner must be cleaned with a moist and clean cloth so as to prevent any dirt and bacteria to form outer layer on the unit.

As air conditioning unit need timely service a good contractor must be appointed for such task.  He must be skilled and trained and must ensure 100 percent satisfaction to his service.  Many HVAC contractors often provide such services all the 24 hours and throughout the week.  We must make hold of small points while making our air conditioning serviced.  Firstly we must make sure that the service provider or technician cleans air conditioning unit properly and he is using correct chemicals for cleaning.  If he cleans the air con with brush or vacuum, this may prove harmful to our health.

Always a large or at least half inch drainage pipe for split unit air conditioning units must be used as unsized pipe will always cause choke.

A full range quality service must be ensured from the contractor. As prompt and safe services can always get good impression and better references on the part of the contractor providing services.

HVAC salary is a general question in the minds of the people who are in the field of HVAC and also the persons aspiring for this field. The answer to such question is education and knowledge of a technician.  An HVAC technician must be required to know about the installation, maintenance and repair of a unit.  He must have knowledge about the theories and practices for solving a system that does not work properly.

There are many different levels of HVACs technicians depending upon their experience and knowledge.  The higher the level goes the more he is paid.

A non certified technician’s anticipated yearly salary is that of $25000.  He works with the HVAC technician as helper.  They are also called apprentices and they belong to the HVAC schools for certification along with the job.

Certified HVAC technician generally earn a yearly salary of $30000-$55000. These technicians generally have Associates Degree in HVAC.

HVAC engineer mainly earns $72000 a year and this position requires advanced education and skills.

When our pipes get repaired and drains get blocked one person who come into our mind is a plumber.  Plumbing has become such a field which is not affected by the changes in the economy.  A plumber generally earns his income on hourly basis. An apprentice plumber earns less than the professional and seasonal plumber. An apprentice gets $18000 a year but a master plumber earns nearly $45000 a year.  However, the average salary of a plumber is $27000 a year.

The highly paid plumbers earn up to $50000 and they are licensed and these include journeyman plumber, plumber technician and pipe fitter.

Hence, HVAC and plumbing technicians earn much as far as they educate themselves and get trained by constant work experience.
