 DeHart Plumbing, Heating, & Air Brings the Love Another Year to a Family in Need

Wednesday, June 21st, 2023

Each year, our team holds an event where we partner with Lennox and Love Stanislaus County, a local non-profit organization, to provide one family in need with a whole HVAC system installation. This is also usually coupled with a home makeover, as we do the best we can to give this chosen person a fresh start.

This year’s recipient family was on the verge of losing their home and had received over forty nominations from the community. Throughout the Love Modesto day, DeHart Plumbing, Heating, & Air’s technicians installed the state-of-the-art system, customizing it to meet the unique requirements of the home and the family’s comfort needs. By setting them up with an advanced heating and cooling system, the family is one step closer to being able to keep and move into their forever home. 

“My friends and co-workers know that things with the house have been hard and tough on my family. They all stepped in to say that they care and nominated me for this amazing gift. To have all these people here volunteering their time to help me and my family move into our home, it means so much,” expressed homeowner Kurt. “Without having an HVAC unit, we weren’t going to be able to keep our home and move in. I hope everyone here today knows that this is one of the best things that has ever happened.”

The Love Modesto event is one of our favorite days of the year and we are honored to extend a helping hand to a deserving family in our community. From the Love Modesto team to our staff and the incredible volunteers, there was no shortage of love and hard work that went into making a difference for our neighbor today.

From your favorite team in Modesto, CA–continue to spread the love, and contact DeHart Plumbing, Heating, and Air Inc. for your heating, cooling, and indoor air quality needs.

There’s a common misconception about the purpose of an HVAC system’s air filter. It does have an important job, but it might not be the exact job you’re thinking of. Most homeowners believe that their HVAC air filter is in place to protect their indoor air quality.

This air filter has its limits, and because of this should be changed on a regular basis. Read on to learn more!
