HVAC Light Commercial Market

RSS

Industry figures are estimates that are derived from the best available figures supplied by a sample of AHRI member companies.

Commercial heating equipment manufacturers are rolling out new systems that are energy efficient, as well as service friendly for contractors.

All of these women have made a mark on the HVAC industry and continue to do so. While they serve in different areas of the industry, each is making a contribution to both improve the industry and make it a more welcoming career for females.

Make sure you have some thick skin and don’t take offense to social biases that you’ll eventually run in to. Women can do anything they set their minds to — just set your mind to it and do it.

I strongly believe that there should be more bold and in-your-face advertising campaigns directed towards women in the trades. This marketing strategy needs to drive it home, to everyone, that there are massive and inclusive employment opportunities in the trades.

My advice is simple: Don’t be afraid to pursue this industry if you have a passion for it. The HVACR field is full of opportunities, and your technical skills, creativity, and leadership can make a significant impact.

Don’t be affected my any negative feedback or comments you may receive. If you’re passionate about what you do, you will succeed.

This is a great industry. We need to keep spreading the word. Features (like this) with such wide readership are a huge help. I think that mentorship and participation in national organizations also provide a camaraderie that many women don’t find in the day-to-day.

I aspire to mentor young female professionals in the HVACR space. Especially the women that desire to advance professionally while carrying the load as single parents.
