In late June, Air Purchases received a call from the corporate marketing folks at Trane with a terrific opportunity for one of our dealers - the chance to appear on the nationally syndicated-home improvement show Bob Vila. The show would feature the installation of a Trane heating-and air conditioning system, including CleanEffects™, in a 1920s home in Melrose, MA. As often happens with such opportunities, there was one small hitch - the installation had to be completed in record time to accommodate the show’s tight filming schedule. Despite a heat wave and their busy summer schedule, John Ambrosino and his crew at Total Temperature Control in Wakefield, MA accepted the challenge to make it happen. John is no stranger to tight deadlines or TV film schedules. In late 2005, his company installed the original prototype for CleanEffects at a Harvard testing lab, working day and night throughout a weekend to complete the installation in the required timeframe. John has also appeared on This Old House, where he installed an eight-zone system in a brownstone in Charlestown, MA. John and his crew, led by Install Supervisor Mark Dellorusso, successfully completed the installation by July 5th - in time for the first round of filming. They did this in spite of the job’s many challenges. “We were working in a very tight basement space with extremely low ceilings and a poorly constructed cellar floor,” said John. “Adding to the challenge was the fact that the homeowner (who was the producer of the Bob Vila show) wanted to finish the basement space.” John and his crew installed a Trane variable speed oil furnace with a horizontal coil, a 16-seer, two-stage condenser, and a CleanEffects system. Ductwork was graciously contributed by Seal-Tite. “The homeowner and her husband (a severe allergy sufferer) were exceptionally nice and easy to work with,” said John. A few weeks after the system was up and running, the homeowner called John to thank him again. “I don’t want to keep you as I know you are very busy right now,” she told John, “but I just wanted to say, ‘WOW! What a difference! It’s nearly 100 degrees outside and the air in here is cool, clean and wonderful!’” And that’s the power of Trane!
