Strickland HVAC Donates $10 Per AC Tune-Up to Kurth Memorial Animal Shelter Through August

Lufkin, United States – July 16, 2026 / Strickland Plumbing, HVAC & Electric, Inc. /

Strickland Plumbing, HVAC & Electric, Inc., a Lufkin-based HVAC contractor, has launched a community fundraising initiative tied directly to summer air conditioning maintenance. For every residential AC tune-up booked through August 31, the company will donate $10 to Kurth Memorial Animal Shelter, with a stated goal of raising $1,000 for the local organization before the campaign closes.

The announcement comes during the hottest stretch of the calendar year, when demand for reliable cooling systems is at its highest and homeowners face the greatest risk of unexpected equipment failures.

Summer Heat Makes AC Maintenance a Practical Priority

Air conditioning systems that go without regular attention are more likely to lose efficiency or break down entirely when outdoor temperatures peak. A professional AC service appointment — which typically includes inspecting refrigerant levels, cleaning coils, checking electrical connections, and testing system performance — can help identify small problems before they become costly repairs.

Skipping routine maintenance during summer months puts homeowners at risk of facing an urgent AC repair call on the hottest day of the year, often when service schedules are most congested. By pairing a practical home maintenance need with a charitable incentive, Strickland Plumbing, HVAC & Electric, Inc. is giving Lufkin-area residents a concrete reason to address their cooling systems before a breakdown occurs.

A Local Shelter Stands to Benefit

Kurth Memorial Animal Shelter serves the Lufkin community by housing and caring for animals in need of homes. The $10-per-tune-up donation model means the fundraising total grows directly in proportion to how many homeowners schedule service before the August 31 deadline. If the $1,000 goal is reached, the shelter will receive a contribution tied entirely to routine home comfort maintenance — no separate donation drives or events required.

The structure of the campaign reflects a straightforward connection between a service residents already need and a cause that benefits the broader community. Every tune-up booked not only helps a household stay cool through the remainder of summer but also contributes incrementally toward the shelter’s funding goal.

HVAC Services Remain the Campaign’s Core Focus

While Strickland Plumbing, HVAC & Electric, Inc. also provides plumber and electrician services to residential customers in the Lufkin area, the August fundraiser centers specifically on HVAC work. The AC service tune-up promotion is designed to encourage homeowners to act during the summer window rather than waiting until fall, when cooling systems are typically retired for the season and existing issues go undetected until the following year.

For households that have already experienced inconsistent cooling, unusual sounds, or higher-than-normal utility bills, the campaign also provides a timely prompt to schedule an AC repair assessment. A trained technician can determine whether a tune-up resolves the issue or whether additional work is needed — information that is far more useful before a system fails completely than after.

A heater repair need discovered during a late-summer HVAC inspection can also be addressed before the heating season begins, making the tune-up appointment a useful checkpoint for year-round system health.
