Kent’s Community Involvement

Because we care about our community and strongly believe in giving when we can, we proudly contribute time, financial assistance, and other resources to the following organizations and causes:

Rebuilding Together-Valparaiso

Kent Heating and Air Conditioning has been a major contributor or sponsor for 15 years running. This year we have already evaluated six homes, will do our best to work with our vendors for deep discounts, and we usually contribute labor for free as we normally do the work required prior to or immediately after the Saturday Work Day. The reason for this is simply there are so many people in the home that it affects our ability to do our work.

All American Soap Box Derby

We have sponsored a car for the past few years to encourage young people to build a car and work towards a goal of competing and reaching the nationals in Akron, OH.
