Rite Way Heating, Cooling & Plumbing has reopened its Feel The Love® program for Southern Arizona and the Phoenix East Valley, offering a free high-efficiency heating and cooling system to selected community heroes. Nominations are open through Aug. 31, 2026, with installations scheduled for fall 2026.

Why it matters: - The program gives qualifying households a free heating and cooling system, which can be a major health and safety benefit in Arizona heat. - The effort focuses on people who often help others but rarely get public recognition. - The installation is free to the recipient.

What happened: - Rite Way Heating, Cooling & Plumbing brought the Feel The Love® program back to Southern Arizona and the Phoenix East Valley. - Nominations are open through Aug. 31, 2026. - Residents in Tucson, Sierra Vista and Phoenix can submit a nomination. - Installations are scheduled for fall 2026. - The nomination page is available here.

The details: - The Feel The Love® program is a national initiative through the Lennox Foundation. - Lennox provides the systems. - Rite Way technicians volunteer labor for the installation. - Community members nominate the recipients. - The program gives a free, high-efficiency heating and cooling system to selected nominees. - Anyone can nominate someone they believe deserves consideration. - There is no cost and no complicated process, according to the company. - Ideal nominees include veterans and active-duty military families, teachers, nurses, first responders, community volunteers, nonprofit workers, elderly residents on fixed incomes, and families facing financial hardship or unexpected life events. - Rite Way said the program is open to people in the Tucson, Sierra Vista and Phoenix East Valley area. - Rite Way said recipients pay nothing.

Between the lines: - Arizona summer heat can turn a broken HVAC system into more than an inconvenience, especially for households already under financial strain. - The program also functions as a community recognition campaign, not just a charity install event. - Rick Walter, president of Rite Way Heating, Cooling & Plumbing, said the program reflects the company’s belief in taking care of people the right way.

What's next: - Community members can submit nominations until Aug. 31, 2026. - Rite Way will select recipients and complete installations in fall 2026. - The company is directing questions about service and general information to its Tucson/Sierra Vista and Phoenix phone lines or to ritewayac.com.

The bottom line: - Arizona residents have a limited window to nominate a local hero for a free HVAC system before the fall installation round.
