As Central Oregon continues to grow, so does the demand for skilled tradespeople, especially in the heating and cooling industry. From energy-efficient installations in new neighborhoods to service calls for legacy systems in older homes, HVAC careers offer more than just job security. They provide an essential role in helping communities stay comfortable and energy-conscious year-round.
At Bend Heating & Sheet Metal, we’re focused on building the next generation of industry professionals.
The Rising Demand for HVAC Talent in Central Oregon
With more people moving to the region and new developments going up across Bend, Redmond, and beyond, reliable heating and cooling systems are more important than ever. Homeowners today expect performance, efficiency, and clean energy solutions. That translates into a steady stream of work for well-trained HVAC professionals.
In Central Oregon, climate conditions add a layer of complexity. Our technicians work on systems that must handle high desert heat, cold winters, and wildfire smoke. HVAC careers in this region require problem solvers who understand how to adapt solutions to real-world conditions. It’s challenging work, but also highly rewarding for those who enjoy variety and impact.
Training That Builds Real Careers
We firmly believe that the most effective training for aspiring HVAC installers and service technicians occurs in the field, working directly alongside experienced journeymen. This hands-on approach allows individuals to learn the intricacies of the trade in real-world scenarios, gaining practical skills and valuable insights under the guidance of seasoned professionals. We’re actively expanding our continuing education opportunities for all our HVAC installers and service technicians. This commitment ensures that our team members have access to the latest industry knowledge, technological advancements, and best practices.
By investing in ongoing training, we empower our employees with everything they need to excel in their careers and provide our Central Oregon customers with the highest level of expertise and service.
Careers Rooted in Community
One of the biggest benefits of working in HVAC in Central Oregon is the diversity of work environments. Our region’s neighborhoods vary in elevation, sun exposure, and even humidity levels. What works for a Westside Bend home may not be the right fit for a property in La Pine or Sisters. This variety keeps the work interesting and gives our team the chance to design smarter, more effective systems.
As a bonus, you get to live and work in one of the most beautiful and fastest-growing areas known for its active, scenic lifestyle. When off the clock, you can find most of our team catching a day out on the lake or mountain (depending on the season), enjoying world-class views, or cruising down to one of dozens of microbreweries.
