Welcome back to another exciting episode of Born for the Trades! Today, we’re diving into the world of HVAC with a special guest, Axel Romero. Since stepping into the HVAC industry in 2017, Axel’s journey has been nothing short of remarkable. What began as a focus on installations quickly evolved into a deeper passion for the inner workings of HVAC systems, and by 2019, Axel found his calling at Crossway Mechanical. But his story doesn’t stop there. In just a year, he transitioned into specialized inspections, and in 2020, he broadened his expertise into home forensics. This move allowed him to directly assist homeowners, giving them the tools and knowledge they need to understand and protect their HVAC systems.
With nearly a thousand homeowners helped, Axel has witnessed firsthand the long-term impact HVAC issues can have on a home’s comfort, efficiency, and safety. His passion for the industry is more than just about fixing systems—he’s on a mission to educate homeowners, ensuring they make informed decisions and avoid the common pitfalls of installation malpractice.
Axel’s career has also led him to the national stage, where he was featured in Shemane Nugent’s 2024 documentary, Killer House. In this groundbreaking film, Axel sheds light on the importance of high-quality HVAC installations and their far-reaching impact on the well-being of homeowners. The documentary highlights Axel’s unique ability to break down complex HVAC problems into clear, understandable terms, making a lasting difference for those seeking answers.
In today’s episode, we discuss Axel’s incredible career trajectory, the common mistakes contractors and homeowners make, and how he’s empowering homeowners to defend themselves against poor HVAC practices. We also hear about his thoughts on the future of HVAC and what changes he hopes to see in the industry to improve transparency and best practices.
