Sometimes referred to as HVACR technicians, these people are usually the ones we call to fix our air conditioners and heaters. They also work on ventilations and other equipment that control the temperature inside homes and buildings. Some states only require apprenticeship and training before employing these workers, while stricter ones also ask for state licenses.
