Scott Temperature Equipment

With 60 years experience in the heating and cooling business, Scott Temperature Equipment has earned a reputation in Lawrence and the surrounding area for doing the job right the first time. Traditional furnace and air conditioner installation and replacement, boilers for heating, radiant floor systems and snowmelt systems, and heat pumps using air-air or geothermal loops have all been used to help our customers save money with their utility bills. Today, in its third generation of leadership, Scott Temperature is a Carrier Factory Authorized Dealer, and provides service for all brands, makes and models.

The shortages of the war years had left many things in disrepair - including local residents' heating systems. Emory - who was known throughout the community as "Scotty" - rode the city bus in those early years, carrying two tool boxes to service customers' needs. Service was somet hing that Scotty was passionate about. He prided himself on 24-hour service, 7-days-a-week. Scotty believed that a business is usually only a projection of someone's character and personality. After weathering the economic storm of the thirties and the war years, his experience told him two things: one, that you only get out of something proportionate to what you put into it; and, two, if you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything.

We provide repair and maintenance service on residential and commercial heating and cooling equipment. We also service boilers, geothermal installations, ice machines, and more! How do you know whether you simply need to repair a problem or if it is time to replace the system with a newer hi-efficiency one? We can cross-reference your existing equipment with your prospective new system and estimate your utility savings, and you can make an informed decision.

Electric air-to-air heat pumps are basically reversible air conditioners. They move heat from the air in one location to the air in another. In summer, they operate as air conditioners, removing heat from the home. In winter, they reverse their operation, gathering heat from air outside the home and moving it inside. Most heat pumps deliver conditioned air to the home using ductwork, although packaged, through-the-wall systems with no duct work are available. Since heat pumps move rather than generate heat, they can be extremely efficient, delivering more than three times as much heat as they consume in energy.
