I'm a self-employed HVAC installer. It's wild how much work there is and not a lot of people (woman, man, trans, etc) coming up into the trades. I'm in my mid 30s and I'm usually one of the youngest people at the supply house. In the next 10 years we're going to have a major backlog of work due to the dinosaurs retiring.

Agree its going to get worse before it gets better. It's almost a bit scary to think about I'm not sure what people will do.

Seems like an excellent business to be in now though. As much work as you want and you can run your business how you'd like. No need to fight for business

Hopefully people will recognize this and start doing more work in NH. Seems like a pretty good setup to me!

That's my hope as well. Only time will tell!
