He will report to Joseph Fristik, Rheem’s corporate vice president, national accounts and marketing.

    “Sal’s experience with understanding the specific requirements of commercial HVAC and water heating customers is extensive, and we are happy to welcome him to the national accounts team,” says Fristik. “Rheem is placing a substantial emphasis on developing integrated air and water solutions, so commercial customers can leverage the synergies from both of these systems to operate more efficiently. Sal’s unique expertise in this area will be a great asset to Rheem as we grow our national accounts team.”
