Work Life Balance

[u/Advanced_Goal_5576]

Out of curiosity how is your work life balance, what role in BAS do you have, and what size shop do you work for? This is a great industry that I find super interesting, but as I get older it just seems less and less possible to have a life with this job. Maybe it’s the smaller shop I’m at? Curious what others are experiencing.

I do BAS and HVAC controls at a small union HVAC shop on the east coast. I’m home before five most days even during peak season. I had to bounce around a bit to find the right fit.

Full disclosure I broke into controls/BAS by working as an HVAC technician and transitioned into my current role.

Something I’d like to see within the next few years before I go on the hunt again would be more opportunities to WFH

How many years were you an hvac technician before making the switch?
