Service Experts of DFW mobilizes "Home Comfort Squad" to help elderly residents prepare for summer

Just as temperatures hit the triple digits, Service Experts of DFW, a local heating and cooling service company and part of the Service Experts network, today announced the launch of the Service Experts Home Comfort Squad, a community service initiative established to provide free air conditioning maintenance to help area homeowners prepare for the hot summer months ahead.  Trained Service Experts of DFW Home Comfort Squad technicians will provide a “Week of Service” during the week of June 12 to elderly residents in the Dallas area, in partnership with The Senior Source, a United Way partner and a Dallas community-based agency serving the elderly.  The Service Experts Home Comfort Squad will provide pre-season maintenance of homeowners’ air conditioning systems as well as indoor air quality checks, with an emphasis on ensuring residents’ comfort and safety are properly maintained during periods of extreme heat.

“With the high temperatures that we’ve already experienced and that will continue throughout the summer, it’s important for us to watch out for our neighbors who may be particularly susceptible to the hot weather.  Our Service Experts Home Comfort Squad members have enthusiastically volunteered to provide this essential service to help elderly residents, who often suffer when temperatures start to rise,” said David Boyle, general manager of Service Experts of DFW.

During the visits, Home Comfort Squad technicians will provide full system checks and tune-ups for all cooling equipment, as well as safety inspections to identify potential electrical hazards.

The Service Experts Home Comfort Squad will also conduct indoor air quality checks to identify factors that could affect indoor air quality, such as humidity levels, and evaluate the condition of the home’s ductwork.

“The mission of The Senior Source is to improve the quality of life of older adults, and we are pleased to collaborate with Service Experts of DFW to provide a safe and comfortable home environment for seniors in our community,” said Molly Bogen, executive director of The Senior Source.  “Texas heat isn’t easy on anyone, and is especially a concern for older citizens.  We’re grateful for the Home Comfort Squad program, which should have a definite positive impact on the lives of area seniors.”

The mission of the Service Experts Home Comfort Squad is to partner with charitable organizations to provide needed maintenance for air conditioning systems to homeowners in need, with an emphasis on ensuring residents’ comfort and safety during periods of extreme temperatures.
