Hetter Heating & Cooling Aids
"Heat the Town" Program
Hetter Heating & Cooling
has been a big part of
Heat the Town
since its inception in
September, 2004.
Hetter
president John Hetterscheidt has chaired this event all four years
putting in countless volunteer hours to make sure the event goes
smoothly.
Hetter
is also proud to have had more than 80% of the company’s employees
volunteering their time this year, including five service techs. This
year’s event was held Saturday, September 15th
and included some twenty HVAC companies and a total of over 150
volunteers who offered FREE preventive maintenance on furnaces for
over 150 homeowners who otherwise could not afford it.
Hetter Heating & Cooling
was again proud to have been a big part of the
Fourth Annual
Heat the Town
program sponsored by the central Ohio chapter of the
Air Conditioner Contractors of America.
This
year Columbus Fire Lieutenant David Sawyer threw his support behind
the event. “The main (fire) emergencies in the winter are carbon
monoxide,” said Sawyer. . Lt. Sawyer went on to say that he estimates
his station – at the corner of Morse & Karl – ran as many as four runs
per day last winter due to “foreign odors.” Most of the calls turn out
to be due to malfunctioning CO detectors or simply false alarms, but
the issue is still a serious one.
