What should an HVAC or AC technician resume include?

An HVAC or AC technician resume should include the types of systems you work on, your refrigerant handling and other certifications, your diagnostic and maintenance skills, and bullets with the buildings, equipment and results of your work. Employers want to know immediately whether you handle split units, VRF systems, chillers or commercial rooftop units.

Core sections:

• Header: name, "HVAC Technician" or "AC Technician", phone with country code, email, city, driving licence if you drive between sites.
• Summary: years, system types and sector.
• Certifications and licences, with expiry dates.
• Skills: installation, troubleshooting, refrigerant recovery and charging, electrical controls, preventive maintenance.
• Experience with bullets.
• Training or diploma.

Example summary (fictional): "HVAC technician with six years servicing VRF systems, FCUs and AHUs in commercial towers, specialising in fault diagnosis and planned maintenance."
