How much do hvac technicians make in Miami?

From the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics, May 2025 release — an employer survey covering millions of workers. Worker-submitted figures come from tradespeople who anonymously shared their pay on this site. Every figure is labeled with its source.

They mark points on the pay scale. Ten percent of workers earn less than p10. A quarter earn less than p25 and a quarter earn more than p75. Ten percent earn more than p90. The p25–p75 range covers the middle half of workers — a realistic band for experienced hires.

The median hourly pay for hvac technicians in Miami is up 8.4% compared with May 2024, according to BLS OEWS. That is the official year-over-year change; worker-submitted rates reflect more recent conditions. The BLS publishes new wage data once a year, so this is the latest official comparison available.

It measures how concentrated a trade is in a metro area. Miami employs 1.2× as many hvac technicians per capita as the US average. Above 1.0 means the trade is over-represented locally; below 1.0 means under-represented. The figure comes from BLS OEWS May 2025.

BLS annual figures assume full-time, year-round work: 40 hours a week times 52 weeks, or 2,080 hours. The annual number is the hourly rate multiplied by 2,080. Overtime, bonuses, and unpaid time off are not included, so actual take-home pay varies with hours worked.

The official figures are from BLS OEWS May 2025, the latest full release — the BLS publishes new wage data once a year, usually the following spring. Worker-submitted rates update continuously as people add them, and reflect current conditions more quickly than the annual survey.
