Centennial, CO — serving the Denver Metro Area
The best HVAC technicians aren't parts changers. They're trusted advisors who diagnose the problem correctly, communicate clearly with the homeowner, and deliver solutions that last. That's the kind of tech we're building our team around, and the kind of career we're building at Bell.
How We HireThis is a seasoned-tech role. We're looking for an experienced residential HVAC tech who already knows the systems, the diagnostics, and the repair. We can teach our processes, our products, and our way of taking care of customers. What we can't teach is work ethic, professionalism, and the drive to keep getting better.
One thing is non-negotiable: you have to be comfortable with technology. Bell runs on ServiceTitan, works from iPads in the field, and presents financing options digitally. Techs who embrace the tools ramp faster, communicate better with customers, and thrive here.
The Role — Service First, Solutions SecondYou'll be dispatched to homeowners to diagnose, repair, and maintain their heating and cooling systems, and you'll be the person who walks them through their options when something needs to be replaced. You perform the service work yourself. When a system is at the end of its life, you make the replacement recommendation and our install team handles the installation.
The equipment you'll recommend: furnaces, air conditioners, mini-splits, boilers, air handlers, and heat pumps. The work you'll perform: diagnostics, troubleshooting, repair, and maintenance across all of it.
Your earnings track the value you create for the customer. The better you are at solving the problem in front of you and giving the homeowner a clear, honest path forward, the more you earn. And there's room to grow into more here: our top techs mentor new hires and run our highest-value calls.
What You'll EarnMost performance pay in this industry is a black box. Ours isn't:
A guaranteed hourly floor of $28.94/hr (1.5× Denver minimum wage), paid during training and any time you're on the clock between jobs. You earn commission on the work itself. You're never not earning.7% commission on the work you sell, paid the pay period after the job is complete and the balance is collected7% commission on the revenue you generate, same terms$30 for every 5-star Google review, paid monthlyWeekly pay, so you see the ramp in real timeThese numbers are real. Our solid, ramped techs earn around $90K a year, and our top performers clear $150K and up, uncapped, before review bonuses. A first-year tech who hits their stride should realistically land in the $80K to $100K range.
How Our Pay Is DifferentMost commission shops pay hourly or commission, whichever is greater. At Bell, you earn both. Your hourly is a true safety net while your commission rewards performance, and we were the first Local 208 shop to negotiate this kind of commission structure. Once you see how it works, you don't go back.
Union Strong — Local 208This is a Local 208 union role, with benefits most Denver shops simply can't match:
100% of your medical, dental, and vision premiums paid, for you and your entire family, through the unionA union pension after five years of serviceThe protections, training, and standards that come with being part of Local 208Between the union benefits and Bell's pay structure, this is one of the strongest total compensation packages available to an HVAC tech in the Denver market.
What We ProvideTake-home, fully-stocked company truck, your mobile office100% company-paid gas card and toll passCompany iPhone and iPadServiceTitan and all the digital tools that make your day easierCompany uniformsIn-house customer financing optionsPaid trainingStrong, steady lead flow. Bell has served Denver homeowners since 1926 and maintains one of the strongest lead pipelines in the market, which keeps our techs busy year-round, even through the slower seasonsYour ScheduleNo rotating on-call. You're not living with a pager. Your nights are your own.
Our service techs work a standard weekday schedule. We keep Saturday coverage for our customers, but it isn't a constant rotation, you'd only pick up a Saturday when a normally scheduled teammate is out sick or on PTO. It's occasional, shared fairly across the team, and the exception, not the rhythm of the job.

You know the systems, the diagnostics, the repair, and you're ready for what's next.You like the homeowner conversation.

Residential Service Electrician — Service & Sales Career Track
Monday–Friday • No Weekends • Take-Home Truck
Year 1 Realistic: $75K–$100K
Year 2 Top Performers: $130K–$180K+ Uncapped
Centennial, CO — serving the Denver Metro Area
At Bell, we believe a great electrician is more than a great installer. The best electricians in Denver are craftsmen who can read a job, give a homeowner real options, and build long-term trust. That's the kind of electrician we're hiring — and the kind of career we're building.
How We Hire
We hire the person, then build the skills. We'd rather bring on a sharp, motivated electrician with a great attitude and grow them into a top performer than hire purely on a resume. That means if you've got the license, the work ethic, and the willingness to learn — we want to talk.
There's one exception: you have to be comfortable with technology. Bell is a tech-forward company. We run on ServiceTitan, work from iPads in the field, present financing options digitally, and adopt new tools as they prove themselves. Electricians who embrace the technology ramp faster, communicate better with customers, and tend to thrive here.
The Role — Install Today, Sell Tomorrow
This is a residential electrician role with a clear path into a sales-driven service career. You'll start by installing already-sold work — panels, EV chargers, generators, lighting, whole-home rewires — and learning the Bell way of taking care of customers. As your skills grow, you'll start running your own dispatched service and sales calls.
Months 1–2 — 80–90% installs. Mastering Bell's quality standards, learning ServiceTitan, and running occasional leads as the schedule allows.
Months 3+ — mix shifts toward service/sales. Dispatched to a balance of service/sales calls and installs as your confidence grows.
Year 2+ — primarily service & sales. Running dispatched leads and system upgrades, with select installs.
The exact pace depends on your skill development and the daily mix of installs vs. service demand — but the trajectory is clear, and our top techs make the move quickly.
What You'll Earn
Most performance pay in this industry is a black box. Ours isn't. Here's exactly how it works:
$28.94/hr hourly floor (1.5× Denver minimum wage) — paid during training and any time you're on the clock but not actively on a job. You're never not earning.
7% commission on work you sell — paid the pay period after the job is complete and balance is collected
7% commission on work you install — same terms. If you sold and installed it, you earn on both sides.
Up to 3% monthly quality bonus on your prior month's install revenue — reduced 1% per recall a teammate has to run on your work. Clean work pays you twice.
$30 spiff for every 5-star Google review that mentions you by name (paid monthly with payroll)
Weekly pay — you see the ramp in real time
How Our Pay Is Different
Almost every performance-pay shop in the industry pays hourly OR commission — whichever is greater. That sounds fair until you do the math: in most shops, the hourly is really just a draw against your commission. The company isn't paying you more for the hours you work; they're letting you earn back the floor you were already promised.
Bell pays hourly AND commission. Not the greater. Both.
When you're on the floor for an eligible hour, you earn your $28.94/hr. When you sell and install work, you earn your 7% and 7% on top of that. Your hourly is a true safety net, not a clawback. This is a real and meaningful difference from how almost every other performance-pay shop in this industry compensates their technicians — and once you see it, you don't go back.
A note on overtime: this role is designed around strong performance-based earnings and a Monday–Friday schedule, not stacking overtime hours. You're paid for the value you create, not the hours you clock — and our best techs make more in 40 hours than most electricians make in 50–55, then go home for the weekend.
What We Provide
Medical, dental, and vision insurance
Take-home, fully-stocked company truck — your mobile office
100% company-paid gas card and toll pass
Company iPhone and iPad — your daily tools
ServiceTitan and all the digital tools that make your day easier
All physical tools provided
Company uniforms
In-house customer financing options to help you close real solutions
Strong lead flow — a century of Denver brand trust and active marketing feeding your dispatched calls
Paid training
A career path most electrical shops can't offer
Your Schedule
Monday through Friday. No on-call. No weekends. This is the schedule the rest of the industry doesn't offer — and it's one of the reasons our techs build careers here.
One non-negotiable: weekly technician meetings at the shop. This is where we cover operational updates, sales training, product knowledge, and the wins from the week. Our best techs treat these as the most valuable hour of their week, not an obligation.
You'd Fit Right In If…
You're comfortable with technology. iPad, ServiceTitan, digital pricing, financing apps, GPS — you adopt new tools quickly and don't fight the screen.
You're already a strong residential electrician. You know the code, the panel, the troubleshoot — and you're ready for what's next.
You like the homeowner conversation. The five minutes in the kitchen explaining the problem is the best part of the day, not the worst.
You believe craftsmanship and great service are the same job, not opposites. You can recommend a panel upgrade without ever making a homeowner feel pressured.
You're driven by your numbers. You want to know what you sold this week, this month, this year. You want the leaderboard.
Recalls keep you up at night. Taking pride in clean work is non-negotiable for you.
You want to build a career, not just clock hours. You're thinking about the next ten years, not the next paycheck.
Where You Might Be Coming From
A union or commercial shop where you're tired of feeling like a number
A small residential outfit that can't give you the lead flow to actually grow
A competitor where you've watched the senior techs cap out and you don't want that ending
An apprenticeship you finished a couple of years ago, with the license in hand and the hunger to do more with it
This Role Isn't a Fit If…
Technology frustrates you, or you'd rather work on paper
You think "selling" and "doing good work" are opposites
You'd rather be handed a ticket than have a real conversation with a homeowner
You rely on stacking overtime hours to make your income — this is a commission-driven role
Recalls don't bother you
You're looking to learn the trade from scratch — this role requires an active RW license
You're looking for a clock-in, clock-out role rather than a long-term career path
The Basics
Active Colorado Residential Wireman (RW) license — required
2+ years of residential electrical troubleshooting and installation experience
Clean driving record — must be insurable on our fleet policy
Pre-employment background check and drug screen required
Comfortable lifting 75 lbs and working on ladders, in attics and crawlspaces, in Colorado's full range of seasons
Proficient with smartphones, tablets, and field-service software
Professional appearance and presentation in a customer's home
