Through its fifth annual Helping Hands Program, Houk AC is donating free heating and cooling systems to seven deserving families in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. The program honors veterans, first responders, teachers, and neighbors who have made a positive impact, but face financial challenges.<\/p>\n
Nominations are now open for individuals who meet the program\u2019s criteria. Candidates should face financial hardships, need improved home heating or cooling, own a home valued under $400,000, positively contribute to the community, and be committed to family and neighborhood well-being. Houk AC\u2019s goal is to restore comfort, dignity, and security for those who dedicate themselves to helping others.<\/p>\n
Doug Waidelich, President of Houk AC, emphasized the program\u2019s mission: \u201cMany in DFW pour everything into serving others. When they hit rough patches, we want to provide a helping hand. This isn\u2019t just about installing equipment; it\u2019s about restoring comfort and dignity.\u201d Past recipients have received not only HVAC systems but long-term support for their homes.<\/p>\n
Selected recipients will receive full HVAC installation, including equipment and labor, a one-year Houk Maintenance Program, and a 10-year parts and labor warranty provided by JB Warranty. This ensures families stay comfortable year-round while reducing long-term costs. The program reflects Houk AC\u2019s commitment to quality, value, and community service.<\/p>\n
