The pressure transmitter comes in a number of shapes and sizes. One, referred to as a Bourdon Tube, is designed especially for monitoring non-liquid pressure. They are relatively inexpensive and good for measuring air and gas pressure in compressors. The tubes may be c-shaped, spherical and helical.
Average Pay & Benefits. The BLS groups heating technicians under the job category of Heating, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration Mechanics and Installers. These technicians earned average incomes of $45,540 per year as of May 2011, according to the BLS. Their incomes are based on both regular and overtime pay.
When added to an existing forced-air heating system, central air for a 2,000-square-foot home costs $3,500 to $4,000 and can be done by two technicians in two to three days, often with little or no change to the ducting. For a house that needs ducts, the costs and work time double.
