Manufacturer representatives ThermalNetics and TriState HVAC Equipment join the Daikin Group

Daikin Applied announced that it has made majority investments in two of its current equipment, services and parts representatives —Detroit-based ThermalNetics and TriState HVAC Equipment, which serves customers in Philadelphia and the surrounding tri-state area.

Combining the proven track record and expertise that both firms bring with the backing of Daikin, the global HVAC leader, gives engineers, contractors, and facility owners the comprehensive solutions and assistance they require to improve comfort, air quality and sustainability.

"Our mission is to deliver innovative solutions and an unrivaled customer experience,” said Mike Schwartz, president and CEO of Daikin Applied. “That means solving today’s challenges with speed and agility, and having a long-term roadmap to continue to support customers throughout the lifecycle of their equipment and buildings. With ThermalNetics and TriState as part of the Daikin Group, we have the people, technology and structure to evolve with our customers.”

In the heating and cooling business for 50 years, ThermalNetics is an authorized Daikin Applied and VRV representative across eastern Michigan. ThermalNetics also services and repairs a range of HVAC equipment. To bolster those capabilities, the regional Daikin Applied factory service team will join the firm to bring holistic support to customers.

TriState HVAC Equipment is a multi-manufacturer representative in the Philadelphia market. It delivers technology and support to organizations across the eastern portion of Pennsylvania, as well as southern New Jersey. The firm has represented Daikin and its predecessor for over 30 years, now selling applied and VRV solutions, and handled equipment startup and service since the late 90s.

Greener and co-managing partner Joe Callahan will remain and run the firm.

“These are ultimately investments in our customers,” said Taka Inoue, executive vice president and chief sales and marketing officer, Daikin North America LLC, the Daikin division that produces VRV systems, and other products for light-commercial and residential use. “Whether for a commercial building owner or residential homeowner, the focus is the same. We’re always looking for opportunities to improve customer care, and deliver an ideal environment and experience.”

Along with Daikin, ThermalNetics and TriState represent a broad range of other leading HVAC equipment manufacturers.
