johns bio pic John Cannamela is not only an associate of ZenHVAC, he's also owner of Infrared Survey in Charlotte North Carolina.John's trade experience spans 25 years (hey, John, that's a quarter of a hundred years!) Standard trade licensing wasn't good enough for Mr. Cannamela; after becoming a licensed HVAC technician he went on to become a certified level three vibration analyst, an eddy current analyst, a level two machine analyst, and a level two Thermographer.

John is currently working with FLIR (the guy's that make infrared cameras) to develop FLIR's infrared training program. He was on Congress woman Sue Myrick's energy committee, and is a featured speaker for the 2010 and the upcoming 2011 Infrared convention in Las Vegas.

Did we mention he has a patent pending for an infrared device?

John has also been featured on, and contributes to, Danny Lipford's "Today's Homeowner" show, and has been featured on FOX news.

What does John do in his spare time? (What spare time?) He's a dedicated husband and father of four who is an assistant scout leader and an avid fly fisherman.

In short, John is the Energizer Bunny of the temperature control industry.

Likes- catching fish, getting to the point, anything infrared, his wife and kids.

Dislikes- not catching fish, things that don't have a heat signature, and unnecessary wordiness.
