HVAC Mechanic Jobs in Irvine, CA

A HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) Mechanic plays a critical role in the construction industry, responsible for the installation, maintenance, and repair of heating, air conditioning, ventilation, and refrigeration systems. These professionals work on both residential and commercial buildings, ensuring that they provide a safe and comfortable environment. They read blueprints and schematics, understand compliance standards, test systems for proper functioning, perform routine maintenance, troubleshoot issues, and repair systems when necessary. They also work closely with other construction professionals, such as architects, project managers, and electricians, to coordinate tasks.
