Tjernlund Products inception dates
back to 1938 when Emil Tjernlund and his son Robert started
designing and manufacturing oil fired forced air furnaces. From
this start their product offering evolved into gas fired
furnaces and custom
packaged roof top heating & cooling
equipment. In the mid 1950's our Auto Draft Inducers were
developed to eliminate draft problems associated with short
stacks on roof top units. Other people within the heating
industry soon saw the advantages of our draft inducers and
wholesale distribution of the Auto Draft Inducers began in 1957.
Tjernlund Products was spun off as a separate company in 1973.
The original manufacturing facility had 10,000 ft2 and 12
employees. Since then we have expanded our facility to 75,000
ft2 and have grown to over 50 employees. Our engineering and
manufacturing departments feature the latest technology in 3D
CAD design and CNC turret presses and brakes.
Tjernlund Products is still owned and managed by Emil's
grandsons, Robert and Tom and Emil's great grandson Bob. Over
four generations our mission has been to provide quality
engineered and manufactured products that solve exhaust,
ventilation and heating/cooling problems. Paramount to our
success is providing the technical support necessary so that our
products are easy to select and install. We are dedicated to
serving your special exhaust and ventilation needs.
