Experience the SMART Difference

The Workforce

Local Union 1 believes in staying on the cutting edge of technology to better serve customers, contractors, and union members. That means keeping pace with the advances shaping HVAC and sheet metal work—using modern methods, tools, and equipment to deliver the best results.

The workforce in action

In partnership with our signatory contractors, Local 1 operates a self-funded apprenticeship school to train members—with no taxpayer contributions. We also provide journeyman upgrade classes to meet the demands of an industry that never stands still.
