HVAC Lead Installer - Lamar Heat & Air

Location: Aledo, TX

Type: Full Time

Tired of “installer” meaning everything with no plan, no standards, and constant fire drills?

Want to lead installs the right way—with clean work, clear communication, and a team that has your back?

Do you take pride in a perfect start-up, tight ductwork, and leaving a home cleaner than you found it?

Ready to be the lead tech people trust when the job actually matters?

The Role (Your Day-to-Day)

As our HVAC Lead Installer at Lamar Heat & Air (Aledo, TX), you’re the person who sets the standard on every install. You’ll lead the job from arrival to final walk-through: prep the site, guide the crew, handle critical install decisions, communicate with the office/customer, and deliver a clean, code-compliant system that performs the way it should.

A great day looks like: truck loaded, plan clear, team aligned, install smooth, start-up dialed in, customer confident, paperwork done—and zero “we’ll come back later” mess.

You’ll fit here if you like ownership, standards, and being part of a company built on trust, accountability, and taking care of our community.

What You’ll Be Responsible For

Lead residential HVAC changeouts/installs end-to-end (set/coil/condensing unit, transitions, drains, venting, line sets, electrical as applicable)
Run the job site: safety, layout, quality control, pacing, and coaching the installer/helper
Ensure installs meet manufacturer specs, local code, and best practices (airflow, charging, condensate, insulation, sealing)
Perform start-up/commissioning: evacuations, micron targets, refrigerant charge verification, thermostat setup, test/verify performance
Communicate clearly with dispatch/CSR and homeowners (scope, expectations, timeline, any surprises—no hiding problems)
Complete clean documentation (photos, notes, checklist, material usage) and maintain a spotless job site on completion

What Makes You a Fit

1-2+ years HVAC installation experience, with at least 1 year leading installs (or acting as the go-to on site)
Confident with best-practice install standards: nitrogen brazing, evacuation, charging, airflow basics, and start-up verification
You run clean work: straight lines, tight seals, correct supports, and a professional finish
Strong communication + accountability (we’re direct, we solve issues fast, we own outcomes)
Valid driver’s license + reliable attendance (this is a field leadership role)
Ability to lift, climb, and work in attics/crawlspaces safely

Nice to have (not required):

EPA 608 certification
Duct fabrication/duct redesign experience
Experience mentoring apprentices/helpers
