WaterFurnace International has announced the promotion of two key leaders to vice president roles, solidifying the company’s leadership team to support continued growth across its residential and commercial segments and better serve its network of contractors, distributors, and commercial reps.

Ryan Johnson has been promoted to vice president of residential. Johnson brings significant HVAC industry experience, with a proven track record of building strong relationships with dealers and distributors that support their long-term success in competitive markets.

Dean Grunseth has been promoted to vice president of commercial, bringing more than 37 years of HVAC industry experience to the position. Since joining WaterFurnace to help launch its commercial segment, he has worked closely with reps in the field during his tenure as Western Region commercial sales manager. His hands-on approach and track record of supporting rep success position him well to continue advancing the commercial network.

These promotions follow the retirements of Bruce Cole, former vice president of residential sales and marketing, and Paul Selking, former vice president of commercial sales and marketing. Both leaders played important roles in advancing their respective segments and contributing to the company’s long-term success.

“These leadership appointments position us well for the future as we continue to build on our momentum and deliver innovative geothermal and water-source heat pump solutions,” said CEO John Thomas. “Just as importantly, they reinforce our commitment to supporting our customers with the leadership, resources, and direction they need to succeed in a rapidly evolving market.”
