Quick Answer
Honest Fix Heating, Cooling & Plumbing is actively hiring women for HVAC service, installation, maintenance, and plumbing support roles. We offer equal pay, leadership opportunities, flexible schedules for parents, and a welcoming environment designed to support the strongest mixed team in the Upper Ohio Valley.
Imagine walking into a workplace where your skill is respected, your voice is valued, and your career path is wide open…
For years, HVAC has been mistakenly viewed as a “men-only field,” but that couldn’t be further from the truth — especially here in the Upper Ohio Valley. Women across the country are stepping into HVAC roles and thriving as service technicians, installers, comfort consultants, operations leaders, and team trainers.
At Honest Fix, we believe a diverse team is a stronger team. And we’re building an environment where women can learn, grow, lead, and earn at the same level — with no difference in pay, no difference in respect, and no difference in opportunity.
