of operations in Clayton, N.C. on U.S. 70 Busi-
ness West and a team of HVAC specialists. It
has also been able to expand its service area
with a second branch located off Hwy. 17 in
Jacksonville, and a third branch off I-95 just
north of Fayetteville. Most recently an office
was opened in Raleigh off Glenwood Ave/70
near 540 to serve Raleigh/Durham customers.
Members of the Carolina Comfort Air team have
traveled across the country to numerous HVAC

to date in the forever-changing market of the
