@albertcastaneda
HVAC service technician delivering reliable diagnostics, repairs, and customer-first solutions.
What I'm looking for
I’m an HVAC Service Technician who’s known for being self-motivated, personable, and dependable. I bring a strong understanding of computers and technology, along with excellent written and verbal communication.
In my service roles, I performed preventative maintenance on residential HVAC systems and handled diagnostics and repairs for central furnace and AC units. I also conducted Natural Gas Appliance Tests on Forced Air Furnaces and Water Heaters for the utility company Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E), including assessments for repair/replacement under the Pacific Gas and Electric Company CARE program.
Earlier in my career, I supported client decisions by assisting with repair or replacement and generating sales leads for new equipment. I worked closely with installation teams on central furnace, AC units, and duct work, and helped maintain an organized, well-stocked environment to keep jobs moving.
Before settling into service, I built a foundation in logistics and inventory—receiving and stocking parts, distributing materials appropriately, and operating a forklift. That experience carries into my day-to-day work: I stay hard working, customer service oriented, and committed to keeping everything clean, organized, and ready for the next task.
