Challenge

In the winter of 2022, a historic neighborhood in Donelson, Tennessee, faced a critical situation when multiple residents experienced simultaneous heating system failures during an unexpected cold snap. The community, consisting of 15 homes built in the 1960s, was equipped with original furnace systems that had far exceeded their expected operational lifespan.

Solution

Childs Heating & Air responded to this community-wide challenge with a comprehensive heating system assessment and modernization plan. The company’s approach included:

• Individual home evaluations to determine specific heating needs
• Energy efficiency assessments for each property
• Custom solutions based on home size and layout
• Coordinated installation schedule to minimize community disruption

Implementation

The project was executed in phases over six weeks, with priority given to homes housing elderly residents and families with young children. The company’s service area, spanning from Mt. Juliet to Old Hickory, allowed for quick response times and efficient resource allocation.

The team installed new high-efficiency furnace systems, incorporating:

• Smart thermostats for improved temperature control
• Updated ductwork where necessary
• Modern filtration systems
• Energy-efficient heating units

Results

The community-wide heating upgrade resulted in:

• Average energy cost reduction of 32% per household
• Improved indoor air quality
• Enhanced temperature consistency throughout homes
• Reduced emergency repair calls in subsequent winters
