Texas Furnace, LLC

Texas Furnace, LLC commenced operations in May of 1990. The corporation is wholely owned by Lendell Martin and members of his family. Mr. Martin has 44 years of experience in the air conditioning and refrigeration industry. Additionally, he has owned an HVAC wholesale distribution company and founded the Red T Coil Company. His experience has given rise to the development of many innovative products that meet the needs of the industry. Because of Lendell’s broad experience in the HVAC market, Texas Furnace Company has become a leader in HVAC innovation. The manufacturer of quality products requires a clear understanding of the market and its needs. When he started Texas Furnace, Mr. Martin drew from his contacts in the HVAC industry to define the product offering of the new company, while securing key employees of the Red-T Coil Company. This strategy, along with the idea of expanding factory operations while maintaining the quality customers expect, has served Texas Furnace, and its customers well. By the end of 2000, Texas Furnace enjoyed a 5+ percent market share in evaporator coil sales, according to the ARI Certification Program. Texas Furnace factory operations grew between 1990 and 2000 from 40,000 square feet to over 550,000 square feet. The product offering has increased to include a broad base of evaporator coils, air handlers, hydronic heat units, gas furnaces, and mini-split air conditioning and heat pump units. Texas Furnace’s growth has resulted from the establishment of alliances with distributors, prompt delivery of products, and outstanding technical assistance and customer service. Texas Furnace’s long range goal is to become the premier independent coil manufacturer in the ARI Certification Program.
