Careers

Join the family. Master the craft.

We're a small, family-owned shop that hires for character first, skills second. If you take pride in the trade, you'll fit right in.

The A&E crew with a recent HVAC install

The Team

Background-checked. Trade-trained. Proud of the work.

Why A&E

Not a corporate HVAC machine.

We're building a shop techs want to retire from — not one that burns through people every two years. Here's what that looks like.

Real family business

Six kids, growing crew, no call center. You'll know everyone, and everyone will know you.

Master-level mentorship

Shane is Master Certified with 20+ years in the trade. You'll learn under someone who's seen everything.

Predictable schedule

Mon–Fri 7–7, Sat 8–5 rotation. After-hours is an on-call rotation, not a sleepless free-for-all.

Real tools, real trucks

New equipment, fully-stocked trucks, factory training. You'll come home proud of the work.
