.
Yes, in general good guys tend to be able to find jobs.
AC seems to have more jobs available than fridge but there
are always companies looking for guys.
In AC they tend to split between install or service, when
working for the larger companies and smaller companies
sometimes require guys who can install and service.
The more experience you have in all the different areas of
AC, the more jobs that will be available to you.

Re: working in UK
I have always been under the impression that there is even more work in oz than anywhere else. I wish to hear what the guys in canada and the states say about availability of work in those countries.

Re: working in UK
thanks for your responses. There's loads of work in oz, pretty much everywhere especially northern parts/inland. Find it crazy there is aircon work in England, didn't think reverse cycle worked particulary well in cold climates. thought -5 was the limit to transfer heat.

Re: working in UK
Would anyone know the process of gaining recognition of trade qualification, f gas cert, and if there is any ammonia handling qualification or if it is covered by f gas. I am going to be moving from australia to your "overpopulated Piss hole hahaha" in 6 months time and am hoping to be prepared as possible so i can move into work asap, thanks.

Re: working in UK
You don't get the right to call it that until your here. Then you can call it what you want
As for F-gas and ammonia, we have separate qualifications for those
and they are not transferable from you'r region to ours (Europe).
If you have a European qual you would be ok.
You will have to prove your compliance in an exam and assessment
for both F-gas and ammonia. The Ammonia ticket normally comes
after the F-gas. In the UK you are allowed to work on any refrigerant
(except ammonia) with a F-gas ticket (sometimes referred to as a safe
handling of refrigerants) and then guys who work on industrial systems
then tend to get the ammonia qual afterwards.
