At Residential Heating & Cooling, we believe in creating opportunities for women in the HVAC industry. Amy Barnhill, one of our owners, is an active member of the Bryant Women in HVAC initiative, a program dedicated to supporting and advancing women in the field. Her involvement highlights Residential Heating & Cooling’s commitment to fostering inclusivity and encouraging more women to pursue careers in HVAC.

A Personal Experience: Amy Barnhill at the Women in HVAC Conference 2024
The 2024 Women in HVAC Conference, held in Palm Springs, California, was a gathering of over 260 female professionals across North America, united under the theme “Discover Your Possible.” This event provided a space for learning, collaboration, and professional growth.
