LENNOX INDUSTRIES HAS RECOGNIZED AND AWARDED KENT HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING OF VALPARAISO, INDIANA

Lennox Industries, a trusted HVAC brand for over 125 years, awarded Kent Heating and Air Conditioning the Lennox Centurion Award in March of 2022. The prestigious Centurion award recognizes the top 5% of Lennox residential dealerships in each of Lennox sales regions for outstanding accomplishments and performance. These award-winning dealers are community leaders who embody the Lennox brand promise. They set a standard in their market for customer service and installation quality and execute an annual plan that drives growth and profitability through a foundation of employee development and training.

It is such an honor to be presented once again by Lennox with the Centurion Award. This would not be possible without the outstanding, talented, caring employees I am so blessed to be working with. The trust, integrity, and knowledge they bring to our customers each and every day is unmatched. They really care about our customers and do everything possible to deliver a positive customer experience. I'm extremely proud of them!

Territory Manager, Matt Sczurko (right), presents Allen Kent, President/CEO, Kent Heating and Air Conditioning, Inc. with the 50 Year Lennox Dealer Award. Allen states, "To be a business partner with the same company for 50 years is indeed a rare thing in today's world. We have long considered Lennox the best and most innovative manufacturer in the HVAC industry, and they prove this with their quality products and personal attentiveness each and every day. What I believe really sets them apart is that they have a close relationship with and sell directly to us, the Lennox Dealer, and not to a wholesale supplier like other manufacturers. Should a problem develop in the field, we can deal directly with Lennox and have a resolution for our customer immediately versus working with a wholesale supplier who then goes to the manufacturer, and losing first hand control of the situation. This is vital to Kent Heating and Air's commitment to unmatched customer service."
