Make every space a comfortable place

American Star Total Home Comfort is a family-owned, second-generation HVAC company that has served the Northwest Chicago area since 1983. We’re looking for an entry-level HVAC Service Technician who is ready to build a career in residential heating and air conditioning. If you have a year or two of hands-on HVAC experience—or HVAC training and a strong desire to learn—we’ll help you continue developing your skills with a supportive team and ongoing training.

We take pride in doing quality work, treating customers with respect, and standing behind our service with a 100% satisfaction guarantee.

What you’ll do

Assist with residential HVAC service, maintenance, troubleshooting, and repairs under the guidance of experienced technicians.
Help inspect furnaces, air conditioners, heat pumps, boilers, thermostats, and indoor air quality equipment.
Support system start-ups and verify that equipment is operating safely and correctly.
Help identify equipment issues and communicate findings clearly to the lead technician and customer.
Explain completed work and basic system operation to customers in a friendly, professional manner.
Help customers understand preventative maintenance options, including our maintenance program, when appropriate.
Pick up parts and supplies from local vendors as needed.
Keep the work area, vehicle, tools, and equipment clean, organized, and safe.
Follow company procedures, manufacturer instructions, and applicable safety requirements.
Arrive on time, be dependable, and contribute to a positive team environment.
Look for opportunities to improve workmanship, efficiency, and the customer experience.

What we’re looking for

High school diploma or equivalent required.
Approximately 1–3 years of HVAC experience preferred; residential service or maintenance experience is a plus.
HVAC trade school or other formal HVAC training preferred.
EPA Section 608 certification preferred; willingness to obtain certification is a plus.
Valid driver’s license and a reliable driving record required.
Basic understanding of HVAC systems, hand tools, and safe work practices.
Strong attendance, punctuality, communication, and customer-service skills.
A willingness to learn, take direction, and grow into greater responsibility.
Ability to work full-time, with overtime and occasional weekend work as needed.

Military-experienced candidates are encouraged to apply. This is also a good opportunity for someone entering or returning to the workforce and building a career in the trades. Employment eligibility and job duties are subject to applicable age and safety requirements.

Compensation and benefits

Hourly base pay plus a strong performance-based spiff program. For motivated technicians, spiff earnings can represent a significant part of total compensation and may exceed base hourly earnings, depending on performance and eligible work completed.
Spiffs are earned under the company’s compensation plan; details, eligibility, and payout terms will be explained during the hiring process.
We value honest recommendations, quality workmanship, and customer trust—never high-pressure selling.
Health, dental, and vision insurance
401(k) with company matching
