Fifth Ward couple gifted free central A/C ahead of summer heat
SUMMARY: Just in time for summer, an elderly couple in Fifth Ward has received a new central AC system after over a year without it. In April, Bodensteiner Services sought a Houston homeowner in need of a new HVAC system. Out of more than 400 applicants, 76-year-old Rand Elder and his wife were chosen due to their severe circumstances. Elder, who is legally blind and unable to walk, had been without AC since April last year and a working heater for 15 years. The new HVAC system, along with additional pest control and electrical work, has transformed their lives. Visit clicktohouston.com for more support resources.
