Residential Heating and Air in Greensboro

Central Carolina Air Conditioning installed its first air conditioning system in April 1967. When Mr. Lacy started the company as Lacy Air Conditioning and the first office was in a 2,000 sq. ft. military building over in the O.R.D. section of Greensboro. The building was full of holes and impossible to heat or cool to any comfort level. It grew from one employee (Mr. Lacy) to six employees and back to three employees during the first year.

That first full year of business produced a whopping $27,000 in total sales revenue. In 1972, the name changed to Central Trane Air Conditioning Company, Inc. to take advantage of an opportunity to use the Trane company name. Many current employees joined the company within the next ten years.

Through all these changes Central Carolina Air Conditioning has upheld the highest standards of ethics and quality. Richard Lacy stated, "We had come a long way from those early years because we are a company of good people, selling and installing good products, and always having a plan for the future."
