The YORK brand of Johnson Controls has partnered with contractor, RCM Heating & Cooling, to award a HVAC system to Vietnam veteran, U.S. Army Specialist, Abraham Gomez.
SPC Gomez was honored during a military and first responder tribute at the 34th annual Proud American Days, a community festival held in New Lenox, Ill.
“We are honored to contribute our services to the home of Army Specialist, Abraham Gomez. It’s a small token of the enormous amount of thanks he deserves for proudly serving his country,” says Bill Ward, owner, RCM Heating & Cooling.
RCM Heating & Cooling will install a YORK Affinity Series heating and air conditioning system. The HVAC system will be matched with an Alexa compatible, Wi-Fi-enabled Affinity Hx3 Touch-screen smart thermostat. The combination offers features including voice and remote system control and advanced energy savings.
Johnson Controls has been recognized by U.S. Veterans Magazine as a veteran-friendly company. The company has pledged to hire 1,000 to 3,000 veterans and military spouses by 2020. The YORK brand of Johnson Controls is a sponsor of Building Homes for Heroes, a non-profit organization dedicated to gifting mortgage-free homes to wounded military veterans and their families. By the end of 2018, YORK plans to donate its products to over 100 military families through this partnership.
