The Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA) surveyed contractors at the close of 2003 on how they compensate their technicians and the benefits their companies provide. The results of the survey were compiled in a report titled "ACCA 2004 Technician Compensation & Benefits Survey."
Just less than three out of 10 contractors pay their technicians in the $25,000 to $34,999 range, and a little over 20 percent pay in the $45,000 to $54,999 range.
