New year, new opportunities, new regulations, new innovations.
As the industry continues to evolve, there’s never been a better time to build a culture of training in your HVAC business. In fact, with a major regulatory shift to A2L refrigerants on the horizon in 2025, training your team is essential.
“It will be critical for everyone to be fully trained,” says Randy Roberts, Vice President of Residential Business at Rheem.
Whether contractors realize it or not, the industry is on the brink of a huge HVAC technician shortage. Now, that doesn’t mean it’s time to worry—but it does signal a change in your approach to recruiting and training technicians.
We asked Jose De La Portilla, Senior Manager of Education & Training at Rheem, about the state of the industry, predicted labor issues and how contractors can prepare their businesses to minimize impact.
In the past, organizations have struggled to entice people or create excitement when it comes to careers in HVAC. Recently, the boom of digital learning is supporting industry-leading companies like Rheem in reviving interest, drawing in a new generation of professionals and efficiently preparing workers for essential HVAC jobs.

According to the U.S Bureau of Labor Statistics, in 2020, 59% of the available U.S. workforce was between the ages of 19-39.
