Experienced HVAC Duct Installer – Residential New Construction & Renovations

Hunt Mechanical Service • Full-time • Ravenel, South Carolina, United States • $26 - $30 / hour • 2w ago

Hunt Mechanical is a family-owned HVAC company that has been serving the Charleston area since 2011. We are looking for an experienced HVAC Duct Installer to join our team.

This position is primarily focused on medium- to high-end residential renovations and upfits, where homes are gutted and completely new HVAC duct systems are installed. A significant portion of the work also involves residential HVAC changeouts, duct modifications, new runs, boxes, boots, grilles, and complete duct replacements.

We are looking for someone who knows how to do quality work, can work independently, and understands the big picture of HVAC — not just duct installation.

What You'll Be Doing

Install complete residential HVAC duct systems in renovation/upfit projects
Install and modify flex and sheet-metal ductwork
Install plenums, supply/return boxes and transitions
Install supply and return boots
Install registers and grilles
Install and modify return-air systems
Install zoning dampers and related duct components
Modify existing duct systems during HVAC changeouts
Complete ductwork for residential equipment replacements
Fabricate and install sheet-metal components
Use shop-fabricated components, including parts produced with our in-house plasma table
Diagnose and understand how ductwork interacts with HVAC equipment and system performance
Work independently or with one helper with minimal supervision
Maintain a clean, professional work area
Occasionally assist with HVAC changeouts and service calls when needed

What We're Looking For

Required:

Proven experience installing residential HVAC duct systems
Ability to work independently and complete projects without constant supervision
Strong understanding of residential HVAC systems and how ductwork, equipment and airflow work together
Experience with both flex and sheet-metal ductwork
Experience installing plenums, boxes, boots, grilles and complete supply/return systems
Ability to modify existing duct systems during changeouts
General knowledge of HVAC service and troubleshooting
Ability to work alone or with one helper
Clean driving record
Valid driver's license
Ability to climb ladders, work in attics/crawlspaces and lift heavy materials
Professional attitude and appearance

Preferred:

Experience reading HVAC/construction plans
Sheet-metal fabrication experience
Experience with residential zoning systems
Experience working on higher-end residential construction or renovation projects
HVAC service/changeout experience
Own HVAC hand and power tools

Plasma table experience is not required. We fabricate some components in-house, and training can be provided.

The Right Person for This Position

We're a small, family-owned company, and everyone has to be willing to help wherever they're needed.

While duct installation will be the primary responsibility of this position, there will be times when you may need to help with a changeout, assist another technician, or run a service call. A successful employee at Hunt Mechanical needs to understand that we're all working toward the same goal — taking care of the customer and doing quality work.

You don't need to be an expert at every part of HVAC, but you should have a solid understanding of the whole picture of HVAC, from service and troubleshooting to equipment replacement and ductwork.

We're looking for someone who takes pride in their work, can think through problems without needing to be micromanaged, and wants to grow with a company.

What We Offer

$26–$30/hour to start, based on experience
Monday–Friday schedule
Very limited weekend work — primarily available for employees who want additional hours
Paid vacation
Paid holidays
Company vehicle provided for work
Commute to the job site is paid
Quality equipment and vehicles
Opportunity for advancement as the company grows
Family-owned company established in 2011
No micromanagement
Quality over quantity

Service Area

Our work is primarily throughout Charleston, Berkeley and Dorchester Counties.

Physical Requirements

This is a hands-on position. You must be comfortable with:

Working in attics and crawlspaces
Climbing ladders
Working in tight spaces
Lifting and carrying HVAC materials and equipment
Working in hot and physically demanding environments
Standing, bending, kneeling and working overhead for extended periods

Why Hunt Mechanical?

We aren't trying to be the biggest HVAC company. We're focused on doing quality work and taking care of our customers.

If you're an experienced HVAC duct installer who wants to work for a growing, family-owned company where you can work independently, aren't constantly micromanaged, and have the opportunity to grow with the company, we'd like to hear from you.
