A former Marine, Greaves is a KY master licensed HVAC mechanic with extensive experience in the HVAC service industry. Prior to joining NAVAC, he worked as a factory-trained service mechanic at Johnson Controls, where he conducted maintenance on a wide spectrum of equipment ranging from variable refrigerant flow (VRF) systems to centrifugal chillers.
While employed as an HVAC technician, Greaves also operated his own YouTube Channel, AK HVAC, which provides insight into the HVAC trade and advice for young people interested in joining the field. With insightful content and a high production value, the channel has an impressive 44,200 subscribers with over 2.95 million views.
“As NAVAC continues to broaden its solutions portfolio as well as its market share here in North America, it’s important for our supplier and contractor education to be both exemplary and consistent,” said Stephen Rutherford, vice president of HVAC tools business for NAVAC. “Andrew’s deep product knowledge, marketing savvy, and dedication to passing his expertise on to future leaders all make him exceptionally suited for his new role.”
