2003
News Talk 970 WKHM and Aspen Heating & Cooling teamed up to make one deserving citizen of Jackson happier, and warmer. All of the nominations had compelling stories. But in the end, it was Mary Burchett, a visually impaired woman, who recently lost her husband that was chosen. When Aspen crew members showed up to replace the furnace they got a surprise and found out the house was not heated with a furnace, but a more complicated, and expensive boiler system. Unphased, the crew replaced the system. Aspen had a surprise in store for Mary as well, as they installed new thermostats designed for the visually impaired.
