Last month’s HEROES project was something truly special.
When the CK Charity Classic reached out, it wasn’t for themselves—it was on behalf of The Mental Health Network of Chatham-Kent.
As a fundraising group, the CK Charity Classic supports local non-profits and life-changing initiatives across the region. This time, the ask was simple but essential: a working air conditioner.
The Mental Health Network had been quoted nearly $6,000—an overwhelming cost for a non-profit dedicated to supporting those facing mental health challenges. They reached out to us just hoping for a better price… maybe even a small discount.

Because mental health matters.
Because this community takes care of its own.

1️⃣ Hybrid System – Combines a heat pump with a gas furnace for ultimate efficiency
2️⃣ All-Electric – Fully electric heating & cooling for homes without gas access
3️⃣ Ductless / Mini Split – Perfect for additions, garages, or homes without ductwork
