Skilled trades are in short supply, and the best way to fix that is to train people the right way. Degree of Comfort University is our paid apprenticeship program that does exactly that — turning people with no experience into skilled HVAC, plumbing, and electrical professionals, while making the service our customers receive better in the process. Here is how it works.
What Is Degree of Comfort University?
Degree of Comfort University is a training and apprenticeship program built to develop the next generation of home-service professionals. It combines classroom learning with hands-on field experience, mentorship from experienced techs, and customer-service training, so graduates leave ready to do real work in real homes. You can learn more or apply on our Degree of Comfort University page.
A Paid Apprenticeship — No Experience Needed
This is the part that surprises people: you get paid to learn. From day one you are a Degree of Comfort employee, working Monday through Friday, with learning as your primary job. The program runs about 3 to 4 months, and no previous experience is required — it is open to high school graduates, career changers, and anyone ready to build a skilled trade without taking on significant college debt.
What You Need to Apply
The requirements are straightforward. You need to be 18 or older, hold a valid driver’s license and pass a motor vehicle background check, and pass a general background check. Beyond that, what matters most is attitude: a genuine want to learn and grow, a desire to provide exceptional customer service, and pride in wearing the orange. You can apply online or at one of our open recruitment nights.
A Real Job at the End
The whole point of the program is to hire the right people — those with the right attitude and a willingness to learn — and keep them. Learn from the best and become one of the best. When you complete the program, you get the keys to your own Degree of Comfort vehicle and a full-time career in a trade that is always in demand.

How It Helps Homeowners, Too
A training program is not only good for aspiring techs — it is good for the people they serve. Technicians who are trained thoroughly and continue learning diagnose problems accurately, reduce misdiagnosis, and offer better long-term solutions. They are also more attuned to safety, spotting electrical hazards, gas leaks, and airflow problems before they become dangerous. When you hire a company that invests in training, you get consistent, professional HVAC service every visit.
