Are there companies that even do that for experienced techs? For someone out of trade school, I'd imagine the chances of that are pretty low.
I'm currently in school for HVAC/R at Perry Tech in Yakima, Wa and I have about a year to go. I don't want to stay here unless the pay is right (pretty tough out of school) but I know I want be able to afford moving cross country. Any thoughts from you experienced guys?

Some bigger contractors will "assist" with relocation expenses, but this is dependent on their need and your qualifications to fill that need. Unfortunately for a technician fresh out of school this generally won't be option. I know this is not what you want to hear, but that's how the game is played. Good luck to you.-GEO
Once in a while everything falls into place and I am able to move forward, most of the time it just falls all over the place and I can't go anywhere-GEO
People get relocation assistance when they have a skillet that has not been found around the companies area. HVAC techs are everywhere, and usually hold very similar skill sets so I wouldn't expect it as a tech unless you practice in some kind of specialty area.
