The BuildATech® Friends and Family program is the perfect choice for individuals looking to start a career in the HVAC industry as a technician, installer, or in other HVAC technical-based career paths.

This program is exclusively available to family members of Lennox employees or friends of Lennox business partners.

Barry Williams

Hello,
We were approached by Lennox a couple months back about bringing on a future tech that has gone through the BuildATech® program. Demaree’ had no experience prior to the class, but had enough education to begin his career as an HVAC tech. We had him start with our IAQ install team as a helper and have since had him doing ride-alongs with service and maintenance techs. He has a great attitude and a willingness to work.
What I love about the future of this program is that we are setting people up for success. College isn’t for everyone, and the trades are falling off with our current generations unwillingness to work. Having the opportunity for continued education, assistance with tools and other tremendous options. I do not have a college degree yet have made it to the director position of a large home services company. I pray that we are able to save others from going into significant debt, never graduating, or giving up on education altogether by utilizing programs like the BuildATech® Friends and Family program.
