About Us

Ben Richeson

I started in this industry in 1999. I graduated from the Universal Technical Institute with honors in HVAC controls and energy management.

I immediately went to work in the commercial field and made the transition to residential in 2010 with A1 Heating. I love working with people and a good challenge.

Kelly Burlile

I’ve spent the vast majority of my professional life in the golf industry. This has been a natural transition for me because much of that past life is based on customer service and attention to details. Those attributes are very important to me and have come in very handy with my time at A1 heating. I love working with A1 heating because they share the same passion that I do. I anticipate our meeting and look forward to the opportunity to serve you initially and for many years to come.

Shane Wallace

I have been employed with A-1 Heating since 2000. I started with the company as a Service Technician, maintaining that position for over 7 years. In 2007 I became a salesman for the company and have been doing this ever since. I really enjoy the interaction with all the customers that I have the opportunity to get to know! I have received salesman of the year four times now. I am HVAC certified, Industrial refrigeration certified, RETA certified, and welding certified.

I enjoy fishing, camping, boating, Snowmobiling and hunting with my family!

TJ Karren

I’ve been with the company since 2009. I started as an install apprentice.

Throughout my time at A-1 Heating I have worked in the sheet metal shop, in the install department, and service department.

In 2012 earned apprentice of the year and in 2013 I earned service tech of the year. I completed a 4 year HVAC course through College of Western Idaho and graduated in spring of 2014.

I have been passionately selling ever since.

My education is in hospitality, and I enjoy taking care of our customers. My goals are to build relationships that will last a lifetime and I look forward to meeting you and your comfort needs.

Rob Goodman

I started in this industry in 1993. I worked in the industry as a residential new construction installer and service technician. Around 2009 went to just being a service tech. In 2015 became a comfort advisor. I enjoy taking care of our customers and building long lasting relationships. I came to work for A-1 July of 2017 as a comfort advisor because they share the same qualities and passion that I have for taking care of our customers and made me feel right at home. I look forward to meeting with you for your comfort needs.
