Community Involvement in Omaha, NE

Rain, Snow, or Shine McCarthys One Hour Heating and Air is always be on time! We had a GREAT time at the Saint Patrick's Day Parade!!

Since Scott Wood became general manager of McCarthy’s One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning in 2021, he’s made giving back to the community a priority.

The business has partnered with Omaha’s annual Superhero Heart Run, which raises awareness and funds for children with congenital heart disease.

McCarthy’s One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning, along with its sister company Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of Omaha, has also supported numerous homeless shelters. During the summer of 2022, Scott donated 30 box fans and 1,890 bottles of water to the Open Door Mission’s Beat the Heat Drive.

He has also donated thousands of hand and feet warmers to the homeless, and on the Benjamin Franklin Plumbing side, the team filled a truck full of toilet paper and donated it to a shelter.

During the winter, the One Hour team participated in Project Houseworks’ Warm the Metro, providing furnace maintenance checks and free repairs and replacements for low-income residents.

Over the holidays, Scott plans to sponsor a family in need, offering free repairs on plumbing and HVAC equipment, and to collect toys for the children of incarcerated people. Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of Omaha has also supplied playground equipment to a local elementary school.

These accomplishments and more landed Scott on ACHR News’ 40 Under 40 list in 2022.

“The community has taken care of us for 53 years now, so we want to take care of them,” Scott says.

Project Housework’s is a non -profit organization that is centered around low-income families and senior homeowners that need free home repairs. They are in collaboration with Heating/Cooling Contracts Assosiation Intl; Brotherhood of Electrical Workers. The specific program that we do each fall is called, Warm the Metro. We volunteer to provide free furnace maintenance checks, repairs, and replacements.

We had a great time accomplishing our 5k Superhero Heart Run in support of Congenital Heart Disease!

Scott and John were recognized from the Omaha Door Mission for donating 30 box fans and 1890 bottles of water. This was a beautiful donation out of true love for our community.
