Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Technical job involving inspection, repair, and maintenance of commercial air conditioners in restaurants, offices, etc.
Description
Commercial air conditioner repair workers are specialized technicians who handle everything from regular inspections to fault diagnosis, repair, and parts replacement for large air conditioning equipment installed in office buildings, commercial facilities, factories, etc. They measure refrigerant pressure and electrical circuits on-site to identify abnormal areas. They disassemble, clean, and replace parts such as compressors, expansion valves, and filters to restore cooling performance. High-altitude work and handling of heavy objects are common, requiring safety management and compliance with laws (such as the High Pressure Gas Safety Law). Since responses are mainly at customer sites, schedule management and communication skills are also important.
Future Outlook
Demand is expected to increase due to energy-saving regulations and introduction of new refrigerants, with a continued shortage of technicians. Efficiency will improve through the use of AI inspection tools.
