Client Story
Kathleen’s Story
“I was the recipient of a new furnace in February 2020. Mine had quit working and I was heating my house with propane tanks. After exhausting all resources a friend suggested I call NMCAA.”
“With that call they became my lifesavers. For me this was a life changing helping hand that I had no idea was out there. Without their help I would have never made it through the winter. Leslie was quick to get things moving and within a week we were setting up a time for the new furnace. There are no words for my gratitude other than thank you for being there and helping me and ma[n]y others in the community stay in our home.”
An inefficient furnace has to work hard to function, and can keep energy bills high. A new, efficient furnace in a well-insulated home keeps Kathleen warm all winter and saves on energy bills.
Why Home Maintenance Matters
Attic insulation before: Low levels of old fiberglass batt insulation in this house were not doing a good job keeping our client warm. Attic insulation after: Blown cellulose insulation, along with air sealing, is more efficient and helps maintain heat in the home with its high R-value. Water heater before: A water heater only lasts about 10-15 years, and this one is well past its life expectancy.
