Jamie Christensen, aka @northwest_hvac, is a commercial journeyman HVAC service technician who has worked in the trades for two decades since earning his associate’s degree in HVAC from UTI in Phoenix AZ in 2002. After starting his career in the residential/light commercial space, he joined the union 8 years ago to pursue working on bigger equipment and to diversify his knowledge – which includes working on everything from ductless split serving an elevator machine room to a chiller serving an entire building. When he’s not laser-focused on his various projects, Jamie shares his extensive experience and tips through his Instagram, where he engages with his followers and HVAC community that has grown to feel like family. Inspired by his passion for HVAC and the importance of unions, Jamie founded Blue Collar Crew, a clothing company created to support American jobs, with every item made in the USA and printed by union members.
