What R.F. Peck Co. does

R.F. Peck Co. is a manufacturers' representative firm specializing in commercial and industrial HVAC equipment, founded in 1960 by Robert F. Peck Sr. and headquartered in Albany, New York. The firm represents more than 30 HVAC manufacturers across the New York, Vermont, and Massachusetts markets and serves architects, engineers, designers, contractors, building owners, and facility managers. Its portfolio spans air handlers, chillers, boilers, VRF systems, ductwork, air purification, and specialty HVAC equipment, with newer additions addressing controlled-environment agriculture, UV/air treatment, and duct sealing.

The company operates four office and warehouse locations across New York — Albany, Buffalo, Rochester, and Syracuse — each stocked for next-day pickup or direct shipment. R.F. Peck also runs a field-service arm, R.F. Peck HVAC Service LLC, providing start-up, retrofit, and repair support that complements its commission-based representation business. The firm maintains dedicated field engineering and field operations functions to support specification work and after-sale service throughout the Northeast.

R.F. Peck generates revenue through three channels: commission-based sales representation on behalf of its OEM partners, warehouse distribution (pickup or direct ship), and billable field-service hours for installation, start-up, and repair. Leadership comprises President Jim Browe, EVP Operations Kacie Sutton, EVP Sales Bryan McParlane, VP Engineer/Owner Sales Michael Ferguson, VP Field Operations Kyle Mead, and VP Terry Seery, with a team of close to 50 employees across the four branches.

Broad incumbents

• Johnstone Supply: Cooperative distributor of HVAC parts and equipment to contractors across the US; while a wholesaler rather than a rep, it occupies the same channel position of delivering multi-brand HVAC products to contractors and shares R.F. Peck's broad-portfolio go-to-market.
• Carrier Enterprise: Distributor of Carrier, Bryant, and Payne HVAC equipment serving the US Northeast and Southeast. A direct channel competitor for HVAC distribution in the same territories, though owned/aligned with a single OEM rather than multi-brand.
• Ferguson Enterprises (HVAC Division): Large plumbing and HVAC distributor serving contractors and engineers. Overlaps with R.F. Peck in HVAC product distribution to contractors, though much larger in scale with a national footprint.
• Watsco, Inc. The largest US HVAC distributor, serving contractors with multiple brands via regional distribution centers. Comparable as a multi-brand HVAC distributor model, though significantly larger and product-focused vs. R.F. Peck's rep-based model.
• Gemaire Distributors: HVAC distributor serving the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic focused on heating, cooling, and indoor air quality products to contractors. Directly overlaps R.F. Peck's geography and customer base with a wholesale (vs. rep) model.

Others

• Lennox International: Manufacturer of commercial HVAC systems whose Lennox Commercial VRF line is represented by R.F. Peck. Listed as a peer because Lennox products shape R.F. Peck's competitive positioning and revenue mix through the rep relationship.
• Daikin Applied (sales representative network): Commercial HVAC OEM operating through independent sales representatives in the Northeast. Comparable at the channel/OEM-rep relationship level, even though Daikin itself is a manufacturer rather than a peer rep firm.
• Trane Technologies (distribution channel): OEM manufacturer whose commercial HVAC products flow through independent reps; R.F. Peck represents comparable Trane-family and adjacent lines. Comparable on the product/category dimension even though Trane itself is a manufacturer, not a peer channel partner.

Direct peers

• R.E. Petrozzi & Associates: Multi-state regional HVAC manufacturers' representative serving the Mid-Atlantic with multiple offices and a similar multi-brand specification model. Strongest like-for-like comparable to R.F. Peck in business model, scale, and customer mix.
