Teresa and Kenny are avid Gamecock fans and enjoy going to all Carolina Athletics games. They are proud parents to five children, two grandchildren, four dogs and three grand-dogs (you have seen them in our marketing).
Cool Care Heating, Air, Plumbing & Refrigeration enjoys giving back annually to the communities we serve and donates to several different philanthropic charities and schools. We are also proud community partners with Riverbanks Zoo and Gardens, the SC State Museum, the Columbia Museum of Art, The Gamecock Club and The Garnet Market.
Our Mascot
Kenny and Teresa’s grand dog, Ballou, is featured in most of our ads. Ballou is a single, eleven-year-old Libra. He is the oldest of four boys, two human and one furry.
He basically attended The University of South Carolina with his mom and roommates and graduated in 2013. He loves swimming, dog parks, tricks for treats, Pelican’s SnoBalls, his family and having his picture taken.
He is perfect in every way and loves all people unconditionally. He is loved.
