From $600K to $10M in a Town of 10,000

In this episode of the To The Point Home Services Podcast, Chris sits down with Alyssa Rogers, Vice President of Rogers Heating & Cooling, to explore how she and her husband, Joey, scaled a small family HVAC business in rural Virginia into a multimillion-dollar operation. Their story proves that market size does not have to limit your ambition or your trajectory.

Inside the Rogers Journey: Growth, Sacrifice, Vision, and Community

When Alyssa and Joey took over the business in 2018, Rogers Heating & Cooling was a $600,000 company in South Boston, Virginia, a market with fewer than 10,000 people. Alyssa came from a corporate marketing background, while Joey had grown up in the business his father founded in 1996. Together, they rebuilt the brand, modernized operations, and relied heavily on grassroots marketing to generate momentum.

The turning point came after attending 10X GrowthCon in 2021, where they recognized they had been thinking too small. What began as a goal to someday reach $10 million evolved into a long-term vision of building a 100-million-dollar company. Pursuing that vision demanded real sacrifice, including selling their dream home, moving into an apartment above their office, and turning down a multi-million dollar private equity offer.

Today, Rogers Heating & Cooling is expanding across Virginia and North Carolina, developing internal leaders and proving that vision, discipline, and community connection can outpace geographic limitations.
