The People Behind the Price

Meet The Team

We're not a call center. We're a small team of HVAC professionals who believe homeowners deserve honest pricing and real answers — without the runaround.

"We started Furnace Direct because we were tired of watching homeowners get overcharged for equipment we could get them direct."
The Crew

Real People. Real Expertise.

Every person on our team has a role that directly impacts your experience — from the first phone call to the unit arriving at your door.

Jeren Hamlin
Installation Manager
Jeren Hamlin

Jeren runs the install side of Furnace Direct — the installer network, the scheduling, and the equipment sizing. He spent his career in the trade and built and sold his own HVAC company before this one. When you call with a question about venting, sizing, or what will actually fit your house, Jeren is the one who answers it.

Andrew Chiappetta
Operations & Systems
Andrew Chiappetta

Andrew builds and runs everything behind the price — the catalog, the pricing, the order and delivery logistics, and the tools the install team works off of. He built Furnace Direct on one belief: homeowners deserve the contractor's price, and they should be able to see it without a salesman in their living room.

Quality Control
Randy Thiel

Randy is the last set of eyes on the work. Thirty years in the trade and five master licenses — he sets the standard our crews install to, checks the finished job, and takes the call when something in the field needs a second opinion. Off the clock he is with his family or on the water chasing bass.

What Drives Us

Why We Do This

01
Transparency First
We tell you exactly what the equipment costs and exactly what you'll pay. No diagnostic fees, no trip charges, no inflated quotes. Just honest numbers from people who know the industry.
02
Real Expertise
Our team has decades of combined HVAC experience. We don't just ship boxes — we help you pick the right unit for your home, your climate, and your budget. No upsell. Ever.
03
Fast When It Counts
A broken furnace in winter isn't a scheduling problem — it's an emergency. Same-day delivery on select units exists because we know what it feels like to need heat tonight, not next week.
