Hunton Honors Over 200 HVAC Technicians on National HVAC Tech Day

Bold. Skilled. Relentless. These are the men and women keeping Houston cool.

Houston, TX – June 22nd is National HVAC Technician Day, and at Hunton, we’re cranking up the recognition for the true powerhouses behind our success: our HVAC technicians. Just after the official start of summer, there’s no better moment to spotlight the unmatched grit, expertise, and relentless drive of the 200+ technicians across our divisions who brave the sweltering Texas heat to keep hospitals, schools, and businesses running comfortably. And let’s not forget our Trane Comfort Specialists on the residential front—tackling scorching attic temperatures with the same fierce dedication.

“Our technicians are the driving force behind everything we do,” said Kris Hardin, President and General Manager of Hunton Services. “They show up in the toughest conditions, deliver unmatched service, and represent the best of who we are. Their commitment and teamwork power this company, and we’re proud to stand behind them every step of the way.”

Heat, Grit, and Guts: The Reality of Summer Work

While most people avoid the scorching sun, our techs head straight for it—working in attics, crawl spaces, rooftops, and mechanical rooms where temps often exceed 120°F. It’s not just hard work—it’s hazardous work. And yet, they push through it all to deliver comfort to our customers, fueled by dedication, sweat, and a whole lot of courage.

We also recognize and applaud our entire Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) team—led by Director Franklin Benavidez—for their unwavering commitment to protecting our technicians in the most demanding conditions.

Why Our HVAC Technicians Are a Breed Apart

Forget desk jobs. Our techs are out in the field, solving complex problems, meeting new people, and responding to emergencies—all while battling the elements. Every day brings a new challenge and a new opportunity to make an impact. As veteran technician Ty P. put it:

“I love being a technician because it gives me the opportunity to help others and troubleshoot issues to solve problems. I really enjoy the camaraderie of working with our team to accomplish specific goals and tasks.”

Why National HVAC Tech Day Matters

Let’s be clear—these pros don’t just fix air conditioners. They:

• Go where most wouldn’t dare—from rooftops to tight crawl spaces.
• Endure blazing heat without hesitation.
• Help you save big by improving efficiency and extending equipment life.
