Applewood’s Annual Furnace Checks for Charity to benefit Colorado Pet Pantry

Applewood Plumbing Heating & Electric will welcome the fall season with their September Furnace Checks for Charity to benefit Colorado Pet Pantry.

Colorado summer will soon begin to fade and we’ll welcome in the cool fall and winter months. As you begin to winterproof your belongings and prepare yourself for the next season, don’t forget to also bundle up your home to ensure it is prepared for the temperature changes to come.

For the month of September, Applewood’s Furnace Checks for Charity will support Colorado Pet Pantry. Applewood is providing all customers with a reduced furnace check price of $99 for their 14-point check system. The customer pays $99 for the service and funds go directly to Colorado Pet Pantry to support their food and care programs for pets across Colorado.

“For about six months your furnace sits and waits until it’s cold enough for you to use it again, but during those off months and maintenance needs can arise causing your furnace to no longer work properly or safely,” said Josh Ward, owner of Applewood Plumbing Heating & Electric. “You can really increase your performance and longevity with regular maintenance and with this program customers can help a charity at the same time.”

Colorado Pet Pantry is a nonprofit organization based in Colorado working to keep pets in their homes by providing support to their families. With their mission to reduce pets in shelters and on the streets, they temporally feed pets so their owners can maintain care and stability. Last year, the Pet Pantry volunteers fed 9 million meals to about 150,000 pets.

“A donation of $99 will allow our pet food bank to feed 20 dogs and cats for 30 days,” said Eileen Lambert, executive director. “This donation for a furnace check – a price which hasn’t increased in several years – will greatly help us to assist new people and pets in need throughout the state.”

Applewood has chosen to partner with Colorado Pet Pantry as many customers have pets their technicians encounter every day. Applewood’s annual Furnace Checks for Charity program has raised more than $30,000 for local nonprofits and helped ensure customers’ homes remain safe and ready for the cooler months.
