Hi.
My name is Amie and I am an Oil Heat Systems Technician Apprentice. I am fresh out of school and would love to meet other women in non- traditional trades , especially Burner Mechanics. I am interested in discussing many things about the trade itself and what experiences you have had in the field. Thank you for taking the time to read my post and I look forward to meeting you ladies!

Yay!
We need more women in our trade.8.33 lbs./gal. x 60 min./hr. x 20°ΔT = 10,000 BTU's/hour
Two btu per sq ft for degree difference for a slab0 -
Yes sir and Mam!
One of the best gas techs for one of our local gas companies was a gal. Unfortunately she was about the only women I have met in the HVAC trade in 20 years. Being back in Chicago, however, I expect I will meet more. I hope we will see a much more balanced future in the trade.
Keep on, keeping on!There was an error rendering this rich post.

Good for you Amie!
By meeting other women in the trade I assume your talking about in person and not just through the computer.If you disclose your location I bet you will have better luck in getting what you are looking for.
This site could use more Female Techs. (sorry Dan:)
Good luck!0 -
Women and steam/hydronics
The women who have posted here and in some cases have repiped their own boilers have always shown exceptional problem solving skills. Do a search for vaporvac, and radiator ranger, and you will see what I mean. There are others I may have forgotten.
There have been a few others who somehow felt that as women they would be unable to deal with the complications of the new boiler installation, without a man to oversee everything, so thank god you are not part of that group!--NBC0 -
Congrats!
The thing I have noticed about women is attention to detail is exceptional.0 -
