Job Description Lead Residential HVAC Diagnostics Specialist

Location: Canoga Park, CA | Company: Tassio Temperature Control

A day in your boots

Your morning kicks off with a well-prepared truck and a clear schedule. First stop: a residential system that’s short-cycling. You deploy modern diagnostic tools, isolate the root cause, and walk the homeowner through service options — earning commission on the solutions you recommend on top of your hourly rate. Midday, you shift to a light commercial call to troubleshoot controls, then spend an hour mentoring a junior tech, showing them how to verify airflow and document findings. You wrap by updating service records and planning tomorrow’s route.

What you’ll handle

• Expert diagnostics and troubleshooting across residential and select commercial HVAC systems
• Routine maintenance and timely repairs on heating, cooling, and ventilation equipment
• Clear customer communication about needs, options, and recommended solutions — with earned commission for results
• Mentorship of junior technicians and a defined path toward a Lead Tech role
• Accurate documentation of service calls, repairs, and installations
• Staying current with industry standards, technologies, and regulations

What you bring

• High school diploma or equivalent; technical training or certification preferred
• NATE certification preferred
• Minimum 5 years of professional HVAC service and repair experience, including recent hands-on residential service (commercial-only, installation-only, property-maintenance-only, or classroom-only experience does not meet this requirement)
• Deep knowledge of HVAC systems, controls, and components
• Sharp troubleshooting ability and attention to detail
• Strong communicator who can work independently and within a team
• Valid California driver’s license per company policy
• EPA certification a plus

Pay, growth, and culture

• $32–$55/hr base plus earned commission — top performers take home significantly more
• Modern equipment, ongoing training, and a team that recognizes and develops experienced techs
• Growing, established local business with steady, year-round demand

• HVAC
• HVAC/R Systems
