Hey frame hvac,
The name of my business is Refrigeration Systems {RST}.
The pay scale is improving due to the robust economy and competition. You may want to consider this area again.

Are you a new hvac company in town & where are you located at?I like Wilmington Nc alot but the pay was so bad I had to move $10. to $12. is the most a good installer could get in Wilmington what a joke.You have to have a J1 & J2 card & there is more code there to.Most states & towns you don't need a thing to work.All of the hvac companies,run the good installer out of town.If you ever worked for someone their then you know what I am talking about.So whats the pay like now?

Thanks, Mardoman. I saw Harper Mech on the local contractors list. I am going to start making some calls and setting up some interviews. Much appreciated!!

For me its not the weather. the cost of living here is insane. bought a starter house 4 years ago for 125k. Appraised last month for 325k. That means upgrade house would be 500k. Dont wanna be house poor. Just wanna make an honest living and live modestly.

Watch where you go in the south...the cost of housing can be just as high, or higher. Here...I couldn't afford to live in an actual house with a garage and yard. A run down house in this area would cost you over 200K...if you're lucky. New homes...280K plus, and that's inland. It's all location, location, location here.

Yes but you live in hilton head thats big money.You can go buy a new home in Wilmingto NC for less then 100k.

Yeah I know. Thats why I am hoping to get some useful feedback. Its intimidating to move to a place with no contacts.

I don't think it's just SC in particular. I think it's the south in general.

I know many who have moved from north to south...never south to north.

I think it has to do with the weather.

Could be.But there is more work in the south & it is warmer their to.

Gotta get outta this area (Washington D.C area) Wife and I decided to move to South Carolina. Would like to stay about hour and a half from Myrtle Beach. Senior HVAC mechanic with refrigeration experience. Can anyone give me any insight on job market or cities for that matter. Never been to S.C before, but that is where the dart landed. Time to make a move!!

I think everyone is moving there whats up with this?Sc is a nice place.
