Elevating Quality of Life with Ability Center

by Tony Pontecorvo

When a physical challenge arrives in life, it is essential to find the right partners to overcome those challenges and maintain a normal routine. For close to a decade, Ability Center in Tucson has been helping people with mobility challenges go everywhere they need or want.

They can also customize their vehicle with adaptive driving solutions like hand-controls, adaptive seating, or occupant restraint systems.

We’re Better by a Big Degree!

SOUTHERN ARIZONA’S LEADER IN HVAC FOR OVER THIRTY YEARS

When you live in Arizona, having a heating and air conditioning company you know and trust is almost as important as having a good doctor or mechanic. For over thirty-five years, Temperature Control, Inc., located at 215 West Lester Street, has provided peace of mind and quality service to thousands of Tucson-area residents.

Temperature Control Inc. is family-owned and -operated business in its second generation of providing the highest quality service and products. “We started in 1982,” said General Manager Marla Islas. “The previous owner was Vance Macleod and he started the business with the mission to have an honest company based on customer service.” Macleod succeeded in that goal and, like most successful local businesses that last a lifetime, there are countless stories of putting the customer first and going the extra mile to make sure everyone would tell their friends and family about the outstanding experience.

As the years went on, Macleod wasn’t willing to trust his company to just anyone. When a second bout with cancer in 2014 forced his hand, he trusted General Manager (at the time) Tony Bohard to “make sure that someone would run it the way he did,” said Islas. Bohard had started as an installer and made his way through the company. Now, he carries on the values and quality started by Macleod back when Walkmans and Ataris were king.

Temperature Control Inc. covers all aspects of HVAC work. They install new systems, perform repairs and maintenance and can replace out-of-date-systems. They are licensed, bonded, and insured so you are protected and covered every step of the way. Temperature Control Inc. is a premiere Lennox dealer and a professional partner with Rheem. All of their technicians are NATE-certified so you know you have an expert on the job. You may have heard of Rosie On the House through the radio or their podcast – they’ve been so impressed with Temperature Control, Inc. that they made them a certified partner. To be a certified partner with Rosie On the House, you have to pass the tightest contractor screening in the state, because they’re guaranteed. Temperature Control has also won numerous awards like the Torch Award from the Better Business Bureau and the Super Service Award from Angie’s List.

Your home deserves the most efficient HVAC unit in the neighborhood. Make sure you have it by scheduling an appointment with Temperature Control today by calling (520) 544-5665. They’re open Monday through Friday 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and available for emergency service 24-hours a day. You can also find more information by visiting their website, temp-con.com.

Got An Hour To Burn?

Orangetheory® Fitness, the scientifically-backed and fast-growing fitness franchise, announced on March 1 the launch of its brand new wearable heart rate monitor and a revamp of its mobile app. The new heart rate monitor, OTBeat Link, is worn on the wrist and powered by Mio. The OTbeat app pairs with the new heart rate monitor, and aims to provide a singular platform for members to view their workout histories, set goals, book classes, and much more.

“The science behind Orangetheory Fitness is what sets us apart from other workouts on the market,” said Dave Long, co-founder and chief executive officer of Orangetheory Fitness. “As a brand, we are constantly evaluating our programs to ensure we are using the latest technology to enhance the science-backed workout and provide the best overall experience for our valued members.

Launched in limited supply earlier this year, the OTBeat Link is an alternative to the existing OTbeat chest strap used in Orangetheory Fitness studios across the nation. While the monitor in the chest strap captures heart rate by listening to and recording the beating heart, the wristband monitor reads the heart rate through LED technology. To further sync with this new technology, Orangetheory updated its OTbeat application, which connects the in-studio experience with workouts done outside the studio. Users have more control within the app thanks to new features, such as the ability to set heart rate zones to optimize calorie burn, to analyze the amount of time spent in each zone and to view splat points from workouts in and outside of the studio.

“The ability to combine data from members both in- and out-of-studio experiences will provide users with a more complete view of their fitness levels and goals,” said Long. “Orangetheory Fitness’ objective has always been to improve the overall health and welfare of as many people as we possibly can – not just while in our studios – and the new OTbeat app is helping our members do just that.”

Throughout his years practicing dentistry, Dr. Asadi has been a member of various dental organizations and enjoys pursuing further education to learn as much about his craft as possible. Dr. Asadi has always been willing to give back to the Tucson community he’s been a member of since moving here as a teenager.

Your Handyman in North Tucson

Life comes at you fast. So do the curveballs that life throws at you. Your child throws a baseball through the drywall in your living room. Your kid’s G.I.

Or, you could let My Handyman of Northern Tucson, located at 10132 North Oracle Rd. Suite 160, in Oro Valley, fix it right the first time – guaranteed.

Integrity Auto Glass:

a Name That Says it All

In an industry that is known for its scams, integrity sets the pace for Doug White’s company.

A native Arizonan, Doug has been in the auto glass industry since he was just 17 years old. But while working for a large auto glass company that focused on mass volume service for local dealerships where getting the job done at the lowest possible price for the dealership and cutting corners whenever possible were the priorities, he decided to start his own company.

“I realized I preferred working directly with the retail customer and I knew there was a niche for the consumer who wants it done right,” Doug says. He started small – setting up a booth at RV parks and small community events where he was able to meet directly with his clients and earn their trust. He says, “I did amazing for the first eight months by myself, then I knew I needed to hire some people to help me.” Doug has been able to handpick his employees, ensuring they are the best.

The first person Doug brought on was Steve Lostumo, whom he’d worked with at the other company. As a master technician with 26 years of experience, Steve is NGA-certified, airbag certified and DOW chemical certified as well. Shortly thereafter Doug brought on Danny Hallock, who holds the same certifications as Steve and has 24 years of experience under his belt.

Doug, who also is a NGA-certified master technician, takes pride in offering his customers the highest quality brands installed by highly skilled technicians who care about safety, quality and simply getting the job done right. His technicians receive yearly advanced training to ensure they are up to date on the latest advances in windshield technology. Doug says, “Safety is very important to us. If a windshield is not installed properly, it can actually blow out if the airbag is deployed, rendering the airbag useless.”

Today the industry is growing rapidly to accommodate new advances in technology. All of Integrity’s technicians are trained in the installation, calibration, and use of these technologies. Here is a brief list of some newer Advanced Driver Assist Systems (ADAS):

Lane Departure Warning – on the rear or side, senses an approaching vehicle’s speed, distance, and warns of potential danger.

Collision Warning System/Blind Assist – sensors alert driver to cars in the blind spot.

Heads Up Display – display on glass just below the driver’s field of vision.

Collision Mitigation – radars help control the car’s speed to keep the car a safe distance from the vehicle in front.

Emergency Brake Assist – braking system works with cruise control monitoring systems and alert the driver to potential collision dangers.

Night Vision Assist – use thermal imaging cameras to help drivers “see” further down the road.

In addition to offering clients high-quality products installed by well-trained technicians, Doug is proud that his company is on the insurance companies’ preferred list, which is not an easy position to obtain. In fact, Integrity Auto Glass is one of only a few independent businesses in the state that have made the list. This ensures the customer they will not be billed for some outrageous amount, as the preferred listing status guarantees a set price.

Operating his own company also allows Doug to offer his clients something most large companies can’t – a wide range of service times, with mobile services running from 5:00 a.m. through 6:00 p.m. The company always works a day ahead and sets appointment times for the convenience of their customers.

Everybody loves a great deal so with any fully insured windshield replacement, customers receive an $80 American Express gift card to spend wherever they wish. For Doug, it’s his way of showing his appreciation to his customers.

Whether you’re in need of chip repair or a full windshield replacement for an older vehicle, an exotic car or even a motorhome, Integrity Auto Glass gets the job done right – with integrity and pride of service at the forefront.
