At 2nd Wind, we believe in our employees and strive to achieve maximum career opportunities.  We are always looking for energetic motivated individuals with career oriented goals.  We would like to welcome your interest in our company and provide you with some corporate information to sustain that interest.  2nd Wind was founded in 1985 in Columbia, SC and is a dominant player in the residential/light-commercial heating and air conditioning maintenance market.  Our service staff currently handles well over 6,000 residential maintenance agreements throughout the Greater Columbia area and produces well over 6.5 million in total sales every year.  The rapid growth of our company is due to employee opportunity based on performance rather than seniority.  We employ over 50 men and women who strive to be team and goal-oriented.  Our service staff is comprised of 25 technicians and 4 installation crews.  Our service technicians average 45 hours/week each year although flexible schedules are also available.  We are truly blessed to have such an abundance of great customers, professional employees and plenty of work.

Employee benefits include a number of areas that are well suited to a prosperous corporation.  We provide competitive wages, a commission/work incentive program, a fully inventoried company vehicle including air conditioning, a built-in file console, and a CD/mp3 disc player, a full library of DVDs and CDs (available for checkout) that will educate you on a number of topics including positive attitude, time management, customer service, sales and motivation.  Also included in our comprehensive employee package are embroidered company uniforms (including shorts during summer months), major medical and dental insurance, discounted vision/prescription drug programs and a 401k plan that can be managed via the internet.

Our service technicians are on call 1-2 nights per month.  We have flexible shift schedules that maximize quality time to manage personal life/family time while reaching career-oriented, production based goals.  Vacation consists of 1 week (1-5 years employed), 2 weeks (6+ years employed) and 6 paid holidays including New Year's Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, Memorial Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.  We also strongly believe in continuing education by providing constant sales/technical/industry training.  Company provided tools include recovery equipment, oxygen/acetylene torch, nitrogen cylinder, vacuum pump, and chemical sprayers.  Company tools available for check out include blower door, duct blaster, and inspection cameras with video capability.  We also now provide navigational units for those who are not familiar with our service area.  Digital cameras are also provided for use as an informational tool for our customers.  For the past twelve years, we have been voted by readers of The State newspaper as the heating and air conditioning company of choice.  We thank you for your interest in our winning team!
