Cannan Heating & Cooling

We had purchased a home that was almost a hundred years old (high ceilings and all) and, the furnace was so old that it was covered in rust. Finally, on a VERY cold day, it would not work. I contacted the closest contractor I could find and hoped for the best. Luckily, the phone was answered by the owner, Jerry Hunt and he told me that he would be out as soon as he had finished with a job he was presently on. Within 3 hours he was there and he went down into the basement, looked the furnace over from the inside out and gave us options. He explained to us that the furnace (due to its age) would cost more to repair than what would be cost effective and he gave us a quote on repairing it. He then sat down at our kitchen table and discussed Furnaces and their efficiency ratings and, explained to us that our old furnace was not energy efficient therefore, it was costing us quite alot in utility costs. He showed us brochures listing furnaces, gave us a quote on repairing ours, quote on replacing with a new furnace and then he discussed the Geo Thermal unit. I have to say that we were immediately smitten with the Geo Thermal presentation but, we didn't think we would be able to afford it. We were in a bind and had to have HEAT asap. After Mr. Hunt explained that there were utility rebates and a tax credit and that this system has a long life and needs very little maintenance, we chose it. He then told us that it would be a few days before they could actually start due to having to call the utility companies so they could mark off areas before digging. Within 2 days (luckily!) we received a call from Mr. Hunt asking if 8:00 a.m. the following morning would work to begin digging a long trench with the backhoe to place the piping in for the unit. He and his entire crew were at our home at 8:30ish and it took a couple of days to dig the trench, (he recommended a horizontal trench due to having plenting of acreage to do so) then they placed piping inside and then the pipe(s) were ran into our home and connected to the unit. I can't recall how long the trench was but I do recall that the pipes were placed beneath the frost line. On the 5th day, our unit was working beautifully, the trench had been covered, the area cleaned up and back to normal. He even told us he would take care of all rebates and, gave us documentation regarding our system. AND, we did get the tax credit and that made it very affordable. This system runs very quietly in comparison to our old furnace that would dim the lights every time it kicked on. I appreciate the money we are saving on our utility bills and, it means alot to me to have someone who was local and who kept their word about timeframes, didn't charge us for the quote either and when all the work was completed he explained how to use the thermostat, and what our options were on setting temperatures. (This was very appreciated). About two weeks after the unit was installed I received a call from Mr. Hunt and he was calling to thank us for our business and to ask if there were any issues or if I had any questions. To be honest, I can't remember any contractor ever doing that before. (We've had numerous renovations done to our house and there have been no follow-up calls from building contractors) lastly, he told us that he stood behind what he sold and that within a year if we didn't like the system he would make it right! Who does that in this day and time? I found Mr. Hunt to be honest and his company reputable. The work was top quality, his workers were very courteous and conscientous that this was our home. And, I believe that good contractors deserve praise. This one is a good one.
