American Residential Services Initiates the 2025 ARS Cares Program
American Residential Services (ARS/Rescue Rooter), the largest provider of HVAC and plumbing services in the United States, has unveiled its 2025 ARS Cares Program. This initiative is designed to honor and support local heroes within the communities ARS serves by providing them with essential HVAC systems and water heaters at no cost.
A Call for Nominations
The company is currently calling for nominations for its Community Heroes initiative, which aims to identify deserving individuals who may be in need of these services. Nominations can be submitted through the dedicated website,
ars.com/ars-cares. By encouraging community members to highlight those who make a difference—such as healthcare professionals, military veterans, teachers, and first responders—ARS aims to showcase the impact of local heroes in their communities.
Scott Boose, the CEO of ARS, expressed the company's commitment to giving back: "We are proud to offer exceptional products and installation services free of charge to our ARS Cares recipients—individuals who dedicate their lives to serving others," he stated.
Nomination Period and Selection Criteria
Nominations for the program are open until
October 17, 2025. Each eligible community member nominated will be evaluated based on specific criteria, including their overall community impact and financial need. The various ARS brands operating across the nation will take part in selecting recipients from eligible nominees per location.
Those chosen as recipients can expect to be notified by the end of October, with the installation of the new systems slated for completion by late November. The initiative falls under the wider ARS Cares program, which has been in place since 2016, with a goal to uplift the communities where ARS operates. To date, this program has successfully completed over 300 home service makeovers, enhancing the quality of life for many deserving residents and contributing more than $2.5 million in donated equipment and services.
Incorporating Community Values
The primary intent of the ARS Cares Program is to bring warmth and comfort to those who might otherwise go without crucial heating or cooling systems during extreme weather. Recognizing the dedication of public servants and community figures, ARS is determined to alleviate some of the burdens faced by these heroes, especially during the colder months.
The recipients not only receive functional installations but are also made aware of the outreach and recognition they deservedly earn for their consistent service to society. This generosity reinforces ARS's commitment to community welfare and highlights the importance of giving back within the industry.
