4th Annual Childress Heating & Cooling Gives Back

Winter in Alabama can be unpredictable, but one thing is certain: nobody should have to face the freezing temperatures with a broken heater.

Unfortunately, for some families right here in Southside, Gadsden, and Etowah County, a broken furnace or outdated heating system isn’t just an inconvenience, it’s a daily struggle. When times get tough, replacing an expensive heating and cooling system is often pushed to the bottom of the list.

That’s exactly why we started our annual tradition.

Childress Heating & Cooling is incredibly proud to announce the 4th Annual Childress Gives Back Program! This holiday season, we are stepping up to help our neighbors by giving away a completely FREE packaged HVAC system to a local family or individual in need.

And this year, we are adding a little extra holiday cheer: the recipient will also receive a $200 Visa Gift Card to help with holiday expenses or groceries!

What is the Childress Gives Back Program?

For over 20 years, we’ve provided top-tier heating and air conditioning services to our local community. But we know that true community support goes beyond business.

The Childress Gives Back program is our way of blessing a local homeowner who has fallen on hard times. We’ve seen firsthand how a brand-new, reliable heating system can completely transform a home, bringing immediate comfort, cleaner air, and total peace of mind.

This year’s selected recipient will receive:

A Brand-New Packaged HVAC System (Energy-efficient and reliable)
Complete Professional Installation (Absolutely no cost to the homeowner)
1-Year Labor Warranty (For total peace of mind)
$200 Visa Gift Card (To help make the holidays a little brighter)

How Do You Know if Someone Deserves a New Heating System?

Are you wondering who to nominate? Think about the people in your life including your neighbors, family members, coworkers, or church members.

Ask yourself these questions:

Do you know an elderly neighbor relying on dangerous space heaters to stay warm?
Is there a single parent in your community struggling to pay for constant, expensive AC repairs?
Has someone you know experienced a recent hardship that makes affording a new furnace impossible?
Are you currently living in a home with a broken HVAC unit that you simply cannot afford to replace? (Yes, you can nominate yourself!)

If a name immediately popped into your head, we want to hear their story.

Frequently Asked Questions About Upgrading Your HVAC

Why is a reliable HVAC system so important in the winter? A functioning heater does more than just keep you cozy. It protects your home’s plumbing from freezing, improves indoor air quality by filtering out winter dust and allergens, and keeps vulnerable family members (like children and seniors) safe from dangerously low temperatures.

What is a packaged HVAC system? A packaged system is a space-saving heating and cooling unit where all the essential components (compressor, coils, and air handler) are housed in a single cabinet, usually located outside the home. They are incredibly efficient and perfect for many homes in Alabama!

Can a new HVAC unit really lower my energy bills? Yes! Older, struggling units use a massive amount of electricity to try and regulate your home’s temperature. A modern, energy-efficient HVAC installation can significantly lower your monthly utility bills.
