Cool Force | Orlando & Osceola | 1099 Independent Contractor Partnership
You Determine Your Income.
No Weekends | No On-Call | Dispatch From Home | No Morning Meetings
Cool Force HVAC-R is expanding our network of experienced residential HVAC service professionals. We're looking for (2) ambitious, money-motivated, high-quality technicians who want to grow their income while taking pride in accurate diagnostics, excellent workmanship, and honest customer service.
Build a long-term independent contractor partnership with a growing company that provides service opportunities, dispatch support, and a clear path to higher commission rates. You bring the expertise, professionalism, and drive. Your performance drives your earning opportunities.
Multiple Ways to Earn
This is a 1099 independent contractor opportunity with commission-based compensation, rather than an hourly or salaried employee position.
All commission percentages below apply to applicable net profit, not gross revenue. Net profit is what remains after job expenses and company overhead are paid.
- 30–40% normal service commission: Qualifying work related to the customer's current issue or failed component, including necessary electrical, refrigeration, control, motor, compressor, and coil repairs.
- 33–50% upsell commission: Additional approved services beyond the original issue, such as smart thermostats, coil or blower cleanings, accessories, and other valuable system improvements.
- 3–6% Technician Turnover (TTO) commission: Identify a legitimate system replacement opportunity, educate the homeowner, and obtain agreement for a free replacement quote. The applicable TTO commission is earned if the qualifying replacement sells.
- Profit-sharing eligibility from earned Level 3: Eligible technicians participate in a shared pool under Cool Force's profit-sharing system.
- Six performance levels: Progress from Trial Technician to Master Technician as your quality, skills, production, reliability, and consistency grow.
The plan begins with a 30-day mutual evaluation period. Time makes you eligible; performance earns the level. Higher rates and profit-sharing eligibility are earned, and advancement is not automatic. Earnings depend on available opportunities, completed qualifying work, applicable net profit, and earned compensation level. No specific income or call volume is guaranteed.

Who's Hiring



What Employers Look For
The qualifications that appear most often in HVAC contractor jobs.
- EPA Section 608 universal refrigerant handling certification required
- Valid state HVAC contractor license for the jurisdiction of work
- Three to five years of hands-on installation and service experience
- Proficiency reading and interpreting mechanical and electrical schematics
- OSHA 10 or OSHA 30 construction safety certification
- Experience with commercial rooftop units, split systems, and boilers
Tips for Your HVAC Contractor Job Search
List every license and certification you hold
HVAC employers filter fast on credentials. Put your EPA 608 certification, state contractor license number, and any NATE certifications near the top of your resume, not buried in a skills section. Hiring managers often stop reading if they don't see these immediately.
Tailor your resume to the job scope
A light commercial role and a large-scale industrial chiller project need different resumes. Swap in the equipment types, tonnage ranges, and system brands most relevant to each posting. Generic resumes get skipped when contractors are looking for specific hands-on experience.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists hvac contractor openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Target postings that name your equipment brands
If you have deep experience with Carrier, Trane, or Daikin systems, search for those brand names in job descriptions. Employers replacing or maintaining specific OEM equipment often prefer candidates who already know that manufacturer's diagnostics and service protocols.
Prepare a job site safety and compliance story
Interviewers for commercial and industrial HVAC roles routinely ask about OSHA 10 or OSHA 30 experience, lockout-tagout procedures, and confined space work. Have a specific example ready that shows you followed safety protocols under pressure, not just that you know the rules.
Negotiate total compensation, not just hourly rate
Many hvac contractor roles include per diem, tool allowances, company vehicles, and overtime structures that can outweigh base pay differences. Ask about those specifics before accepting or declining an offer so you're comparing the full package.
HVAC Contractor Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most hvac contractors?
The most active employers for hvac contractors right now are Superior Contracting & Maintenance, Nika, and Meijer, and the most openings are in Florida, North Carolina, and Texas, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Demand tends to run highest in regions with active new construction and large commercial real estate portfolios.
How many hvac contractor jobs are remote?
About 0% of hvac contractor openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the hands-on nature of most installation and service work. The roles most likely to allow remote flexibility are estimating, project management, and technical sales positions within hvac contracting firms.
How do you become a hvac contractor?
Start by completing an accredited HVAC vocational program or enrolling in a registered apprenticeship, which typically combines classroom instruction with paid on-the-job training. Earn your EPA Section 608 certification to handle refrigerants legally. After accumulating the required hours of field experience, apply for your state contractor license, since license requirements vary by state and specialty.
Can you get hired as an hvac contractor with little experience?
Yes, many contractors hire at the helper or apprentice level and provide structured on-the-job training. Completing a trade school program, holding an EPA 608 certification, and demonstrating mechanical aptitude through related work such as plumbing, electrical, or general construction can all strengthen an entry-level application. Smaller residential companies often offer more flexibility on experience than large commercial firms.
What does the hvac contractor interview process look like?
Most hvac contractor interviews start with a phone screen focused on your license status, certifications, and equipment experience. A face-to-face or video interview typically follows, covering troubleshooting scenarios, safety practices, and how you handle customer interactions on residential or commercial jobs. Some employers ask you to complete a practical skills assessment or ride along with a technician before making an offer.
Where can I find and apply to hvac contractor jobs?
You can find and apply to hvac contractor jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Search the roles available, find the ones that match your experience, license type, and preferred location, and apply directly to each listing that fits.
