It’s an important investment today that will impact of the value of your home over years to come.It will play a key role in your home energy expenses for years to come. And when the summer heat is at its worst or the winter cold is keeping you indoors, you’ll want your family to have the best, most reliable system possible to insure your comfort and keep your energy expenses in check.Great question. We know that an air conditioner that’s too small won’t keep your home sufficiently heat or cool. But what you may not know is that a system that is too large for your home will turn on and off (cycle) too often, which wastes expensive energy and could create undue strain on the compressor.

At C&M, we make sure that we determine the optimum size for your home by carefully studying your heating and cooling requirements. This means taking a look at your windows – what are their dimensions and exposure. What is the overall floor space of the home? What type of insulation do you have? And how will your home do in this crazy Middle Tennessee climate. We also look at things you might not think of, such as where are your ovens and other heat-generating appliances? What direction does your home faces? We even take into account the amount of your home’s exterior shaded by trees.

On a hot day, it works long and hard. For example, Rheem installs the highly advanced scroll compressor in every Rheem condensing unit they produce. Scroll Compressors are recognized by the industry as the leader in reliability, efficiency and quiet operation.

For heating, the heater core and the blowers are the main components. Other features to look for include louvered steel cabinets that protect the coils from damage and expensive repair bills.
