Even in places where HVAC is big like Spain you can't get a technician to look at it during summer. In smaller towns everything is difficult. Young people don't want to do those jobs and older guys have so much work you have to chase them to get anything done. My family had to wait over a year for painter.
Holy shit really? That's crazy. I live in a rural area and still can get an HVAC guy out in about a day usually it's same day. We even have after hours guys. Don't let that make it sound like it's a flooded trade here, as that's completely wrong, most of these guys are literally busy 24/7/365 but that sounds like an untapped industry.
I do understand that a lot of the new generation has been sold desk jobs making 6 figures though, at least here...and not enough people want to take the outdoors and labor intensive style jobs anymore. Welders are a good one around my area, you'd think we'd be crawling in them, but nope they're a trade that has a lot of openings, as the older generation(boomers) are retired, then Gen x is hitting retirement and there is even less millennials that picked up the trade and even less Gen z...times gonna get rough soon.
