Work Experience:
My name is Giovanni Mele, I'm a Coast Guard veteran and a residential HVAC technician. My career in HVAC began in January 2022, since, I've spent approximately a year learning installation of ducted/ductless mini splits, as well as air handlers/furnaces. The rest of the time has been maintenance, slowly moving into service.
Hydronics and geothermal heat pumps are new systems I'm currently beginning to learn about. I am a hard worker and have an interest in HVAC because the learning is endless, I enjoy that it's a bit of all the trades mixed in which is similar to how my Coast Guard career was. I hope to one day be knowledgable enough to be a "go to" guy when no one else can figure out the issue, or someone my co workers can depend on if they're in a jam.
