Lennox has opened a new National Account Services (NAS) headquarters and training centre in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, strengthening its investment in commercial HVAC workforce development. The facility includes a dedicated 6,000-square-foot training space for technicians, managers and field leaders, with hands-on instruction covering commercial HVAC equipment and systems.
The centre offers structured career programmes for Skilled Technician, Advanced Technician, Lead Master and Manager-in-Training roles. Lennox is also continuing its Build-A-Tech apprenticeship programme, a paid six-to-eight-month programme combining classroom instruction, field experience and mentorship. The company says its NAS programmes have supported technician development while helping maintain service capabilities for customers across the US.
Lennox is also constructing an 18,000-square-foot Commercial HVAC Experience and Training Center near its Richardson, Texas, headquarters. The facility is planned to provide hands-on access to commercial HVAC technologies, controls demonstrations and industry practices. Together, the investments expand Lennox’s training infrastructure for both its workforce and commercial HVAC customers.
The expanded training infrastructure is expected to give technicians greater exposure to real-world commercial HVAC scenarios before applying their skills in the field.
By combining equipment-based learning with controls, diagnostics and service practices, Lennox aims to strengthen technical capabilities across different career levels while preparing its workforce for increasingly complex commercial building systems. The facilities will also support continuous skill development as commercial HVAC technologies and service requirements continue to evolve.
