Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning Jobs will grow two to three times the average growth forecast by U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Outlook Handbook 2012-2013. The Air Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI), says its industry currently needs 27,000 new workers each year just to replace those who retire. The career opportunities in Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) are nearly limitless, and a career in the HVAC industry provides a dynamic and exciting career with many different job opportunities.
