Local HVAC company wants to give the ‘gift of heat’

A local company wants to give a deserving family in the area the “gift of heat” this season.

Triple A Heating and Air Conditioning recently learned about other contractors’ “Gift of Heat” programs, where they find a deserving local family and fix or replace their furnace, and Triple A owner Keith Neff said it sounded like a great idea.

“We’re always looking for ways we can give back,” Neff said.

But while this is technically the company’s first year doing the “Gift of Heat” program, it’s not a new concept, said Dustin Neff, Keith’s son and Triple A’s general manager.

“I remember growing up, he (Keith) was always willing to go the extra mile and help fix a friend’s furnace when their family was going through a tough time,” Dustin Neff said.

Triple A is seeking a Flower Mound-area family that is enduring a hard time — including but not necessarily limited to financial problems — and has an old, unsafe or malfunctioning furnace that the company can repair or replace.
