Physical Requirements
The physical demands described here are representative of those that must be met by an employee to successfully perform the essential functions of this job. This position is regularly required to stand, reach, bend and lift heavy objects. The noise level in the work environment is typically high.
Strength and Endurance
o Lifting and carrying heavy equipment: HVAC technicians often lift and move heavy parts, tools, and machinery, including air conditioning units, compressors, and furnaces. This may require lifting 50-100 lbs or more.

o Bending, crouching, and kneeling: Working in tight spaces like attics, basements, and crawl spaces may require frequent bending, squatting, and kneeling.
· Flexibility and Mobility
o Climbing ladders and scaffolding: HVAC systems are often located on rooftops, in high places, or inside hard-to-reach areas, requiring climbing and balancing.
