“Our specialty is designing HVAC systems that maximize home comfort, temperature/humidity control, and energy savings, said owner Christian Adams. “We overemphasize the planning and design phase, and only use high quality materials that hold up for the long-term and do not put pollutants or contaminants into the air that the homeowners breathe.”
Indoor air quality has become an increasingly important factor as today’s “tighter” homes provide improved comfort and energy efficiency, but trap contaminated air inside.
“As homes get tighter, if you bring a contaminant into your home, there’s not as much fresh air coming in from natural ventilation. The air change rate is a lot lower than it was 20-40 years ago,” said Adams. “A study done by the Department of Energy found that the average American spends approximately 90 percent of their time inside, and indoor air quality is 2-5+ times more polluted than outdoor air. It’s important to understand that research has long linked asthma and other respiratory diseases with exposure to air pollution, so this is something that we all need to consider when trying to improve our health and quality of life.”
Christian Adams took the reins of Carolina Temperature Control last year in a seamless, mutually beneficial partnership with longtime owner Jim Cabanaw, who remains involved in the business. Adams is a third-generation contractor and former CCU basketball player who brings the team mentality to his work.
“The most exciting part for me since joining CTC has been the culture and quality of the team. We’ve got a great group of employees that are committed to doing the right thing for our customers, and striving to build a better company every day, and that makes it fun to come to work, because everyone is working together.”
CTC also offers one of the most comprehensive HVAC maintenance packages in the area.
“We emphasize the importance of preventive maintenance and taking care of your HVAC equipment to extend its life, cut down on emergency service calls, and improve energy efficiency,” said Adams. “We come out twice a year to provide a comprehensive tune-up and cleaning of the HVAC System to make sure everything is operating within manufacturer specifications.” In addition, CTC’s maintenance package includes annual dryer vent cleanings and water heater tune-ups.
“It surprised me, but residential dryers cause over 15,000 fires a year in the U.S.,” said Adams. “They’re one of the most common causes of house fires.”
Water heaters are another item of household HVAC equipment that’s often overlooked.
“For our annual traditional tank or tankless water heater maintenance, we flush the water heater, clean filters, check water pressure, check water safety components, and verify proper operation. Flushing the water heater annually removes particulate and sediment build-up, which improves the water heater’s capacity and equipment life.”
