The agreement also calls for TBCo to represent Reznor engineered products in Georgia.

TBCo’s Florida presence includes offices in Jacksonville, Orlando, Tampa, Ft. Myers, and Miami in addition to 35 outside sales agents that will rep all of Reznor’s engineered equipment, planned products and parts. TBCo’s expansive Florida coverage will also be instrumental in maintaining the brand’s aftermarket parts sales.

TBCo’s 18 outside sales agents in Georgia operating from offices in Atlanta and Savannah will concentrate on dedicated outdoor air systems (DOAS), make-up air units, air handlers, light commercial HVAC and other Reznor engineered products, accessories and parts.

“Tom Barrow Company’s many years of experience and expertise in handling small and large projects will be invaluable for moving the Reznor brand forward in their designated territories,” said Steve Schmitt, vice president of sales, NGH light commercial North America.

“Our engineered product sales teams in Florida and Georgia work closely with architects, engineers, building owners, contractors, distributors and other professionals for every imaginable HVAC application,” added John Habel, TBCo’s engineering and sales manager, Equipment Solutions, who’s overseeing the Reznor transition.

The 132-year-old Reznor is one of the most recognizable brands in HVAC and is the industry’s leading unit heater manufacturer.

TBCo, which was founded in 1955 and is the largest commercial product manufacturer’s representative in the Southeast, also has a 25-year relationship with NGH’s sister company, Nortek Air Solutions, the industry’s leading manufacturer of custom HVAC equipment.
