I have a friend whose parents are on disability and their A/C went out. They do not have the money to pay a company to fix it but what they need is someone honest to come look at it and see what is actually wrong with it give an honest opinion and get it fixed without charging an arm and leg. They are proud people and don’t want something for nothing just get the air conditioner fixed as cheaply as possible, preferably for free. They have fans right now but it is extremely hot during the day.
Please let me know if you can recommend someone in the Baytown, TX area that could help.

I am a disabled senior with a fixed income and I had to call the fire department on July 6th because my air conditioning unit blew up....The owner of the trailer park is out of the country and my manager here cannot get the "so-called" maintenance guys to come and fix my A/C unit. They say they will be here & don't show up or even reply to her messages. I am SWELTERING here since the temperature has been in the 100's lately and now it's humid after it rained....Can you PLEASE direct me to ANYONE that could get me a free fan because I have no money & can't take much more of this ????
ANY help will be appreciated. I have been calling organizations & haven't received anything positive at all. Thank you very much.

Air conditioner programs are very rare, even in Texas. Also, a focus is usually on the elderly or seniors in the region, and this is only when they are available, which is not common. Maybe try CEAP in Texas, which is a low income energy program.
Learn more.

Here is the contact information for weatherization in Texas. Whether they provide free air conditioners or not, we would be doubtful. But you can call and ask. Maybe try a place like the Salvation Army as well. Sometimes they have free fans or AC units. While they may be used, they are better than nothing. So here are the details on
Texas weatherization assistance.

I am in dire need of a new central air system. I have an autistic son and I receive no help for that. I tried to apply for some different loans and I was not approved. The heat in my house is very hot in the summer. I can't apparently afford to repair this with cash. If you know of any assistance programs that help Arizona residents please give me a call or email me back at the same address. I need this ASAP!

Hello, I live in Harris county (Spring Texas). We are low income (students). Our home has no air conditioner. We had AC before the house fire, and it burned up. We got most of the house fixed up .. all but the air conditioner/ heating system. We are afraid because we have limited funds for a new system. Most of the money we had was stolen by contractors. We have a newer air handler but it too small. A government funded company came by saying they could put in free insulation for all electric homes ed us because the air handler was not installed. We need help. Any air conditioner programs would be a blessing.

My air conditioner will no longer work and I need help with someone in the Travis county weatherization health and human services. I do not have an email address of my own and I am using my sister's computer and I am not able to go on line it to apply. Please call me as I know I will qualify for assistance as I am disabled, my source of income is SSI, and I am on SNAP. All assistance is appreciated. Please call

Maybe look into weatherization programs in Phoenix, as sometimes they can provide new air conditioning units, or pay for repairs or tune ups. Read about
Arizona utility bill help to get a list of grant programs, ways to get help with electric bills, and other support in Arizona. For example, Arizona Public Service runs the Energy Support Program and Salt River Project can provide up to $6000 for home energy improvements. Call (480) 833-9200

We no longer eat at our dinner table we rush thru making something fast in kitchen then my husband and our daughters and I rush back upstairs to eat in my bedroom because it’s the coolest. The SRP bill is horrible, because it never shuts off it’s eating about 15 dollars a day! We can’t even afford to call a technician cause they are over 100 check fee here in Phoenix,Az. Please help us...
Thanks for your attention to this request,

Did you look into a weatherization type program? It is funded by the federal government, and provides energy conservation and home improvement projects for lower income households. Some programs do have funds or may include replacing an air conditioner. A listing of agencies and non-profits to call in your area can be found here, at
Robeson county assistance programs. There are organizations and agencies like Four-County Community Services, Inc., which is the local community action agency. Phone number is (910) 277-3500. Also ask them about the Heating Appliance Repair/Replacement Program (HARRP) program they run. This should deal with AC units...

I am currently unemployed, have no money to spend on a new air unit, and I have bad credit. I am currently receiving unemployment, medicaid and food stamps from Robeson County, NC. I have two children and a husband who is sickly. Our air conditioner unit needs a need compressor but I was told it would be better for me to replace the whole unit. It is a split unit; 3 ton. My children stayed outside and camped in a tent last night. My husband and I suffered through the night with a fan and a borrowed window unit. This morning I thought I was going to have a heat stroke. I really need assistance in locating a company that will enable me to finance for a new unit. I plan to start a new job in July but right now my whole world has fallen apart. Last week, my septic tank began backing up. So we are now limited to the use of our facilities. I need to have my septic tank drained as well. But, my biggest concern is this weeks problem- no air. If you could guide me on what I should or who would be a good person to contact. My family and friends are not able to assist.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR A PROGRAM THAT MIGHT HELP MY PARENTS WITH COST FOR AN AIR CONDITIONING UNIT. MY FATHER IS 75 YRS OLD AND MY MOTHER IS 72 YRS OLD. I ALSO HAVE A DISABLED SISTER THAT LIVES WITH MY PARENTS, HERE IN ARIZONA. WE ARE LOOKING FOR A PROGRAM THAT MIGHT BE ABLE TO HELP WITH MAYBE, ATLEAST SOME OF THE COST FOR THE UNIT. MY MOTHER HAS ALWAYS BEEN A HOUSE WIFE AND MY FATHER HAS BEEN RETIRED FOR ABOUT 15 YEARS AFTER HAVING HEART SURGERY. AT THIS TIME THEY OWN A SINGLE FAMILY HOME IN GOODYEAR, AZ BUT SINCE THE HOUSE WAS PURCHASED, IT ONLY HAD A SWAMP COOLER. NOW THAT THEY ARE OLDER AND IT ONLY GETS HOTTER, I AM TRYING TO HELP THEM OUT, BUT IM LIMITED TO WHAT I CAN DO FOR THEM DUE TO FINANCIAL SITUATIONS.
I WOULD BE SO GREATFUL IF YOU COULD POINT ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION OR INFORMATION ON WHO I MIGHT BE ABLE CONTACT FOR HELP.
IT WOULD MEAN THE WORLD TO ME!
THANK YOU,
