Madison Area Mechanical & Sheet Metal Contractors Association (MSC) and Steamfitters Local 601 will host the 35th Heat’s On event on Saturday, Oct. 21, according to a recent press release. Over 50 area steamfitters will volunteer a day of labor to inspect and service heating systems in over 70 qualified veterans’ homes throughout Dane County.
Trucks and equipment used for the day are donated by local union heating contractors, and replacement parts are donated by area suppliers. Veterans signed up for their free furnace checks through the Dane County Veteran Services Office and the Veterans Hospital.
Heat’s On has been serving Dane County residents since 1987 and has performed maintenance services on over 2,600 furnaces. The purpose of Heat’s On is to reduce the occurrence of veterans going without heat or facing other life-threatening emergencies associated with home heating systems.
Heat’s On will kick off the event at the Steamfitters Local 601 Training School at 6310 Town Center Drive starting with breakfast, provided by Beef Butter BBQ, for the service technicians at 7 a.m.
