Episode Synopsis

In this all-women edition of The Robbins Podcast, Taylor (Sales), Kayla (Service Manager), Charity (Dispatcher), and Michelle (President) talk candidly about getting into HVAC, learning the craft, and thriving in a fast, customer-focused company.

They cover:

Why culture and people drew them to Robbins—and kept them here
Surprises from the field: refrigerant isn’t water, maintenance really matters, and why “simple” systems aren’t simple
Real challenges women face on roofs, in mechanical rooms, and on phones—and the confidence it takes to push through
How organization, communication, and empathy transform a service call
Training, NATE certifications, and pairing the right tech with the right customer
Why more women should join the trades
