Heat For The Holidays – Yes! Helping the Community

Monday, January 16th, 2012

This holiday season, Yes! Air Conditioning & Plumbing decided to give back to the community with a program called Heat for the Holidays, in which we offered our HVAC services to seniors in need. Here is an article that was published in the Catholic Charities of Southern Nevada Newsletter that describes the program:

During the month of December, Catholic Charities Meals on Wheels clients were selected to participate in the Yes! Cares Senior Program. Yes Air Conditioning and Plumbing provided full inspections, home weatherization and heating products at no cost for homebound seniors. After recording a significant increase in the customers residing in senior developments throughout Las Vegas, Yes! Founder Kenneth Goodrich established the senior program as a way to offer support and resources to our community.

After inspection of a faulty unit at the Kendricks, Yes! secured a donation of a new HVAC unit from Goodman Manufacturing! Special thanks to Desert Crane for use of equipment and to Yes for completing the installation and making this all possible. THANK YOU!

“I call this, love in action,” stated Rosa.  Our clients are over joyed to have working heat!  Thank you for caring about the well being of those in need.

Yes in the News: Seniors Getting Heat for the Holidays!

Thursday, December 29th, 2011

Yes! Air Conditioning & Plumbing has been helping seniors in the community by providing free services. While most only need routine maintenance and simple repairs, one old couple needed a complete new furnace, which Yes! installed completely free of charge! Here is a video clip about it from Fox 5 News: Seniors Get Heat for the Holidays. And here is what they wrote about our program:

LAS VEGAS (FOX5) -

Volunteer heating professionals have been lending their support to elderly residents throughout the holiday season.

Under a program by Yes! Air Conditioning and Plumbing, the volunteers give their time installing and repairing heating units and solutions in the Las Vegas area.

The Heat for the Holidays program, in conjunction with Catholic Charities of Southern Nevada, is helping people like Gwendolyn Taylor, a wheelchair-bound senior who has been using her stove for heat, organizers said.

Tuesday, volunteers installed a heating unit for Taylor.

In addition to installation and repairs, the program provides full inspections, home winterization and other products and services to keep the older members of the population warm throughout the winter months.

Everyone at Yes! Air Conditioning & Plumbing wishes you a happy holiday!
