Joey Chavez
Working in the HVAC industry for 22 years, Joey’s approach to his work is like an artist, making sure the work Sensible does is functional while also looking good for customers. Joey works closely with Phil and Jo in helping answer HVAC questions for customers while setting up installations. Joey’s favorite part of working in the industry is the more complicated jobs that Sensible is known for like installing geothermal systems and diverse water piping. It’s the type of jobs that help you learn and grow.
Tom Cassedy
Joining the Sensible Team in 2021, Tom enjoys working in a cutting-edge industry with a company, whose reputation proceeds itself when it comes to Geothermal work. He has worked in the HVAC industry for six years. Tom enjoys the challenge of keeping up with an industry that is ever changing. He says everyone at Sensible is encouraged to take ongoing classes and training. When the native Coloradoan is not working, he is taking advantage of the great outdoors fly fishing and spending time with his two boxers.
Frank Hernandez
Frank joined the HVAC industry after spending time in management. He likes the variety he finds as an installer and working with one of the few companies in Colorado that specializes in Geothermal work. Frank joined Sensible in 2021 and has continued his education within the industry, taking Carrier, Supply House and several manufacturer classes. Frank enjoys the great balance between work-life and time off that he spends mostly with his family.
