The official grand opening of Lakeside Heating, Cooling & Plumbing in Land O’ Lakes is being celebrated June 21 with a ribbon cutting co-hosted by the Central Pasco and Wesley Chapel chambers of commerce.
The public is invited to the event, which takes place from 5p.m. to 7 p.m. at Lakeside’s office on Bell Lake, at 4608 Land O’ Lakes Blvd. Chamber members, customers and friends can enjoy food catered by Hungry Harry’s Bar-B-Que and raffles for A/C cleanings, thermostats and gift cards.
Lakeside Heating, Cooling & Plumbing opened in March and has already earned an “A Rating” from Angie’s List and the Better Business Bureau, as well as being designated a “5 Star Contractor” with HomeAdvisor.
“We are very happy with the positive reception we’ve gotten from the community,” said owner Ron. “It is gratifying to have helped so many local families with their air conditioning needs, and also to support several local sports teams and special events with our sponsorships.”
Ron is a respected and longtime HVAC technician with 22 years experience in Pasco and Hillsborough counties. Before establishing Lakeside Heating, Cooling & Plumbing, Ron was a partner in a HVAC company based in Lutz.
Working alongside Ron at the company is Omar Matos, a highly qualified HVAC technician with 15-years experience who is also EPA certified. Eric Rapp also works for the company as a HVAC technician, and Jackie Horruitiner is the office manager.
“I’m taking all that I’ve learned from my previous business and applying it to make Lakeside successful,” said Ron, who plans to keep his new company small, so he can offer low prices and be closely involved in customer service.
“After 22 years in the business, I’ve seen every problem there is, and can quickly and accurately assess the best course of action when someone calls with a problem,” said Ron.
Lakeside Heating, Cooling & Plumbing specializes in helping families with A/C units that are 10 to 15 years old.
“We believe in being proactive, instead of waiting for an emergency when your A/C stops working in the heat of the summer,” said Ron.
“There are thousand of homes in Lutz, Land O’ Lakes and Wesley Chapel that were built in the early 2000s, whose air conditioning systems need service and upgrades. We can save you money, if you call before your system breaks down.”
Lower energy cost is another reason to upgrade your A/C system, Ron explains.
“Most people see savings of 20 percent to 50 percent when they upgrade to a new system with a higher SEER rating,” he said. All the units we install have a minimum SEER rating of 14, and our top-rated, quietest Rheem system offers an unbelievable rating of 20.5.”
Higher SEER ratings result in dramatic energy savings — often more than $100 a month on your utility bills. “For people installing new systems, this energy savings make for an excellent return on investment,” Ron said. In addition to Rheem, Lakeside also installs air conditioning systems manufactured by Goodman, Frigidaire and Mitsubishi.
Both Duke Energy and TECO offer rebates of up to $800 to customers who replace their old system with a new unit that has a SEER rating of 15 or higher. Lakeside takes care of all the rebate paperwork for its customers.
The company also installs whole house filtration systems, hot water heaters, and secures rebates up to $550 for customers who install tank-less, gas-powered tanks that are serviced by People’s Gas and Clearwater Gas.
“We take our responsibility very seriously when you place your trust in us,” said Ron. “Please give us a call for your A/C service needs, and see what you’ve been missing.”
