When your HVAC is down, nothing gets you hotter than having to wait on a part.
Don’t wait for hot weather. Get your HVAC system checked at regular intervals, like whenever you change your engine oil. Refrigerant can leak or pick up moisture any time of year, leading to poor cooling performance.

Parts Mgr., and Jon King – Parts & Service Marketing Mgr. Dan’s wife Eliene, his daughter Trisha and son Paul were here, also son in law Victor and cousin Brenda.

Tim,
Dan came out Saturday and helped us out of a pinch, Truck 22 was losing prime and we had our on call mechanic tied up on another issue with another truck. We called Dan because he got great reviews from the guys at the station and they can be a hard bunch to please. They sent me an email about how Dan stayed with the prime issue until it was resolved and during the test drive he found an issue with the turbo charger, you had one in stock and he installed it and they seem to be very happy with the performance of the truck now.
Thank you for the great service and for being a partner with Henrico Fire in providing service to the citizens of Henrico County. Your staff is just as important in putting out the fires and getting the sick and injured to the hospital as the firefighters in our organization.
Have a safe and prosperous 2012,
Stone Smith, Henrico Fire – Fleet Operations Manager
