Customer Testimonials

“I was amazed…the other company we got a bid from was cheaper, but they weren’t as thorough. I felt like I would get a better quality job from Central Heat & Air because Doc took a lot of time finding out what I wanted, measuring the house and doing all those calculations. I am so pleased. The house is so comfortable now!”

Case study: Susan Ritzhaupt (center) and her parents Mr. and Mrs Rinehart, Cleveland, TN

PROBLEM:

Ms Ritzhaupt was building a new sunroom onto her house. She wanted the new sunroom to be open to the rest of the house so she could move freely between the sunroom and the rest of the house. Also, the existing house had always had problems with comfort. Part of the house had two stories and part was single story (a split-level house). When the living room was comfortable, the bedrooms or basement den was uncomfortable and vice-versa.

An additional factor was that the old air conditioning and heating system was located outside right next to the sunroom and the backyard pool. It was very noisy and was in the way of a laundry room that she wanted to build next to the sunroom.

SOLUTION:

After Doc Garner performed a heating/cooling load calculation load, he recommended that a slightly larger unit be installed to accommodate the new sunroom. He also recommended that a zoning system be added to the existing ductwork to provide comfort to both the new room and the existing house. A thermostat was located in each of four areas of the house, each controlling air dampers to that zone.

To eliminate the noise of the outside unit by the pool, the new air conditioner was installed on the other side of the house, away from the backyard and the living areas of the house. A high efficiency furnace was installed in the unfinished basement.

RESULT:

Ms Ritzhaupt can set the thermostat in any zone to the temperature she likes and the heating/cooling system handles the rest. Her sunroom is as comfortable on a sunny day as her basement den and second floor bedrooms. And no more noisy air conditioner in the back yard, either!

Ms Ritzhaupt: “ I was amazed at how easy Doc made everything. He did all these calculations and then told us that he could make it so that all areas of the house could be comfortable. The other company we got a bid from was cheaper, but they just weren’t as thorough. I felt like I would get a better quality job from Central because Doc took a lot of time finding out what I wanted, measuring the house and doing all those calculations. I am so pleased. The house is so comfortable now and I don’t have to turn off the air conditioner to sit in my backyard any more! ”
