stay in the Alamo City yeah it was 102
yesterday Justin's forecasting 101 for
today and imagine not having air
conditioning in your home not only on
hot days but for a year that was the
case for this local family here is their
story
and how we'll fix it change their lives
[Music]
we'll fix it is all about making sure
your air conditioning keeps running but
it's also about giving back we're at a
San Antonio home today where the owners
are getting a brand-new HVAC unit
installed for free HVAC sales manager
Ken price it joins us thanks so much for
having us out this is all possible
through the we'll fix it cares program
so tell us a little bit about it okay
well Fiona like you said it is all
possible through the will fix-it cares
program we've taken a lot of different
nominations of people being nominated
for replacing there at Central HVAC
system and we decided that this family
the Rivera family would be the most
deserving out of the ones that we did
receive so one of the ones you received
that's how this family was chosen that
story just really jumped out at you guys
yeah the the management team there we'll
fix that we of course go through every
nomination individually and this family
story just really touched us and we
wanted to do something to give back to
them joining me now is Carlos Rivera
this is your parents home that is
correct
they were nominated by your brother
you're holding the nomination in your
hand right now would you take the time
please to just share with folks what
your brother said sure my parents are
elderly in their early 70s they have
been very independent and never live
beyond their means
my dad is disabled and my mom retired
from h-e-b about 70 years ago to take
care of my dad since he is diabetic and
requires assistance from her on a daily
basis they have never been the type to
ask for help and prefer to eat saltines
for dinner to ensure their bills get
paid on time last year in November my
mom was diagnosed with breast cancer she
has been going through intense chemo
therapies since January and things seems
to be going good it has been very
difficult for our family but my mom is
extremely positive and very strong her
spirit or amazing my parents have always
been sure we are okay and before her
retirement and illness she would always
help us any way she could
two weeks ago they told me they have
been without AC for a year and they
never told anyone because they did not
want to be a bother
hopefully we get blessed by God to be
able to be considered to get a new AC
unit for my parents
so tell us a little bit about the
installation process okay
we'll feel it all starts off with making
sure that the system is the proper size
and the proper configuration to make
sure that it's going to work properly so
the first thing that we did was we came
out and we did an evaluation of the home
to make sure that the system is the
correct system to keep them comfortable
both summer and winter now AC units of
course are a hot topic over the summer
but we'll fix it has other services
absolutely we do plumbing we do
electrical we also do attic insulation
radiant barrier things to make the homes
more efficient so aside from the will
fix it cares program what other ways is
the company gives back well right now
I'm really happy to announce this but
our company has partnered with st. Jude
and so for every HVAC system that's
replaced we give $25 to st. Jude and we
also give $1 for every face book like
that we get here on our website almost
doing good I love that so if someone
watching right now wants to nominate
someone to get an entire HVAC system
installed how can they do that well all
they would need to do Fiona is go to our
website which is we'll fix it calm and
they would just simply nominate somebody
and we of course are taking nominations
for the next free installation all the
way until October 24th when we will
decide what family's going to get that
system well Ken thank you so much for

community you like you guys dues for
