(Seguin) — A 25-year milestone is resulting in the free replacement of a 40-year old AC and heating unit for a deserving local resident. Diamond Air AC and Heating Services recently celebrated its 25th anniversary by hosting its Ugliest AC contest. People were asked to submit their old, ugly and outdated unit as part of the contest, with the winner receiving a brand new unit.
Diamond Air owners Ben and Krista Moreno made the announcement of the winner during a special anniversary celebration on Friday.
“The winner of our contest is Ms. Elizabeth Alcoser. Her air conditioner is almost 40 years old. She is retired and on a fixed income. In 2021, when we had our great snowstorm, she received a lot of damage to her home air conditioning and heating unit. A lot of busted water lines were in all of her floors. She was able to get a federal disaster funds grant, but the damage was too much to be able to cover the air conditioner. She has been living for the last two years without heat or AC at home,” said Krista Moreno.
Alcoser will no longer have to worry about the scorching heat of summer or the often surprisingly cold winters. She will now have the new unit completely installed in her home. The Morenos said they wanted to host the contest as a way to express their gratitude to their loyal customers over the last quarter century.
In addition to the big prize, their anniversary celebration also included a number of daily prizes handed out via Diamond Air’s Facebook page.
