Annual Heat & Plumb the Country

What is Heat  & Plumb the Country?

  • Heat & Plumb the Country-Cuyahoga County provides free heating maintenance services and water audits and plumbing repairs to elderly/disabled, low-income homeowners and Veterans in the Greater Cleveland area to insure proper operation and save lives.
  • Volunteers provide a ray of sunlight, a smile and a helping hand to people who need it the most.
  • Volunteer’s service and repair unvented room heaters and central furnaces, boilers, water lines, faucets, commodes, gas line checks.
  • Volunteers install smoke detectors and/or carbon monoxide detectors or replace batteries in existing detectors.

 

How Can I Participate?

  • ACCA and PHCC Cuyahoga County needs service techs, helpers, dispatchers, owners, managers, friends and family to help. Technicians must be from ACCA or PHCC member companies.
  • Contractors are needed to volunteer the use of their trucks (for their own employee to use).
  • Technicians are needed to run a couple of service calls (most are finished within four hours), diagnose the problem and if a minor problem, fix it. If it requires a major system component replacement, document it and give the information to the Cuyahoga County headquarters.
  • Non-technical help is needed to ride with technicians, talk with the homeowners while the technician is making the needed repairs and helping in other ways as determined on the call.
  • Dispatchers, parts runners and other administrative help is also needed.

 

What do I do as a Volunteer?

  • Heat & Plumb the Country kickoff is Saturday, September 10, 2022.
  • Kick off occurs at a local meeting point at 7 a.m. for breakfast.
  • Receive call assignments and then after final instructions by Heat & Plumb the Country coordinators, leave to complete the calls.
  • Return to the headquarters office to return call packets and identify whether calls are completed or need additional follow up.
  • Have lunch with other volunteers.
  • Go home knowing you have made a difference in someone’s life!!
