Contractors lend a helping hand
By Wor—n Fleck
special writer
Jack Frost won't be nipping at the
homes of 73 area senior citizens this
winter, thanks to area contractors
who volunteered their services Saturday
during the A1 Keats Project
Heat-Senior Citizens Service Day.
Organized by the Northwest Heating
and Cooling Dealers Association
in Farmington, 15 contractors and
their technicians donated time and
service, parts and equipment to
work on furnaces for senior citizens
during the second annual event
named after retired contractor A1
Keats
Keats is honored for his contributlorfTo
the growth of the Northwest
Dealers Association.
Irene Smith, 84, of Plymouth,
received more than service on her
furnace. Technicians presented her
with flowers because it was her
birthday.
"I was flabbergasted," she said. "I
told the girl, you mean I can get my
furnace cleaned for nothing? I can't
believe it."
The project, now an annual statewide
event, was founded last year by
Cliff McCourt of Day and Night
Heating and Cooliijg in Farmington
who read about a similar project in
Colorado. Last year's effort was
awarded the Presidential Citation
for Private Sector Initiatives.
?r
Area senior citizens get
free furnace check-up
"THIS IS something that needs to
be done," said Karl Kennedy of
Moore Furnace in Bedford Township.
He is president of the northwest
association.
"Too often people experience
problems with contractors. It's the
people that can least afford it that
are preyed on by unscrupulous contractors
who don't do a good job," he
said.
Lisa Fee back, executive secretary
for the association, agrees. "This is a
way for the guys to show there are
lots of us that are good. We want to
combat bad feelings."
The project not only provides fur-
naces for senior citizens, it gives volunteers
a warm feeling.
"If a guy doesn't walk out with a
Varm feeling, then be didn't do the
job right," said Robert Murphy of
Sun Tech Heating and Cooling in
Redford.
Jay De Ordio of Colonial Heating
and Cooling in Plymouth said, "It's a
real good feeling for everybody." De
Ordio worked from 8 a.*n to "whenever."
/
* Efforts -were well-timed for
Frances Overfield, a Livonia resident
for 49 years.
"It has really saved me a great expense.
It is hard to get things done
without some kind of trouble," she
said
IN ALL, 73 homes were serviced.
Most calls required only
and minor adjustment on
systems. All work carr^s^a 30-day
warranty.
While contractors were prepared
to install up" to four new furnaces,
there was need for only one, which
was donated by the BeUer-Young
Company in Redford. Area supply
firms also contributed to Saturday's
project
At the end of the day, volunteers
and their families gathered for a paza
party boated by the Knights of Columbus
in Livonia The food was
courtesy of Domino's Pizza.
Kennedy summed Up the feelings
of most "It feels good to do this for
someone wbo needs help," be said,
adding, "Someday I'll need help "
