When I started out working with my dad, Russell, at Russell’s Heating & Cooling, I came to understand our commitment to our customers from a very personal perspective. He always said how important it is to educate our customers so that they are comfortable with our service, our products, and our advice. On occasion, we come across a topic or some news that we like to share with our customers. These informative topics will appear right here, as part of our blog.
Whether it’s new promotions, ways to save energy dollars in easy ways, or letting you know about a new service or product we are offering to our customers, Buddy’s Blog is here to keep you informed and educated.
