At Lennox, we're proud to have strong, female leaders in a number of roles that span from our corporate office and Lennox® Stores to our sales team and dealer partners. But there is still a significant gender gap in the HVAC industry. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, women made up nearly 47 percent of the U.S. labor force in 2017, but women only make up 2 percent of the 448,000 installers and technicians employed in the HVAC industry - that equals fewer than 200 female technicians out of 9,000 total per state.
