Case Notes
Location: Bringle's Smoking Oasis -> Nashville, TN
Products Used: Cyclone® Flex™
About: Carey Bringle’s Nashville restaurants have received media praise from The Food Network, The Travel Channel, Southern Living magazine, GQ and many more.
THE CHALLENGE
Bringle’s Smoking Oasis is a 2,800 sq. ft. facility that has outdoor seating for 300 and indoor seating for 40. The restaurant runs the dish pit continuously during operating hours, so there’s a large need for uninterrupted hot water. The restaurant could not function without it.
THE SOLUTION
Bringle-owned restaurants have had issues with inconsistent hot water in the past, so Carey Bringle met with A. O. Smith representative and installing contractor Larry Summers to discuss the hot water needs of the Smoking Oasis.
The new restaurant needed a reliable water heater that could provide large amounts of hot water throughout the day while accommodating for the increased need during peak dining hours. They agreed that installing one unit would be optimal to meet the kitchen’s space constraints—and the A. O. Smith Cyclone® Flex™ was the ideal product for delivering water heating efficiency and proven reliability.
The Cyclone® Flex™ water heater is the latest addition to the industry’s most-specified high-efficiency commercial water heater family. The unit boasts up to 98% thermal efficiency and is ENERGY STAR® qualified— providing high efficiency condensing operation to lower energy costs and usage.
THE RESULTS
“We wanted something that had the ability to keep up with the restaurant’s high demand for hot water—and the Cyclone Flex has done a great job,” says Bringle.
“The unit delivers great efficiency and provides continuous hot water. It has worked like a charm.”
