Carrier Rental Systems Goes Extreme
ABC’s popular TV program Extreme Makeover: Home Edition recently came to Texas to build a dream home for an East Bernard family. Two sickly little girls saw how much America cares and got a new 4,500 square foot home. “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” enlisted the help of local companies in helping this family in need, including Carrier Rental Systems.
Houston, TX (PRWEB) April 10, 2006 -- Carrier Rental Systems has gone “extreme.” Carrier Rental Systems, a division of the Carrier Corporation, is a specialty provider of rental temperature control and power generation equipment. It has recently had the honor to lend a hand to a family in need with the help of ABC’s popular television program, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.
Extreme Makeover: Home Edition focuses on remodeling or building homes for struggling families. The popular, heartwarming show recently built a home for a family in the town of East Bernard, TX. Carrier Rental Systems (CRS) was excited to take part in this philanthropic event and provided temporary heating and cooling equipment to production, catering, and construction tents during the 7-day home makeover.
The February 19 episode featured the Kubena family. Of the four Kubena children, 7-year-old twins Sara and Tara have been stricken with Leukemia since the age of two. The burden of medical bills eventually forced the family to move into a 1,200 square foot trailer on their grandfather’s property.
After years of chemotherapy and radiation treatments, both girls where declared to be in remission. Unfortunately, Tara had a recent relapse which necessitated a bone marrow transplant. The child and her mother lived at the hospital for the entire four-month course of the treatment. But even when Tara was ready to return home, it was medically necessary for her fragile immune system to be completely separated from her family and their germs. Extreme Makeover: Home Edition stepped up to the challenge to save the day, with Carrier Rental Systems heeding the call for help.
Three 30 foot by 30 foot tents were used during production, as crews constructed a brand-new “healthy home” that featured two HEPA air filtration units. Carrier Rental Systems enthusiastically provided three modified Carrier 50TFF ten ton air conditioners/heaters, keeping each tent at a comfortable temperature for the project’s workers.
"With Southeast Texas' winters you never know what the weather will deliver, and these units give us the flexibility for a variety of applications and site limitations," said Aaron Knape, Carrier Rental Systems Technical Sales Representative. Carrier Rental Systems’ heating and cooling equipment helped Extreme Makeover: Home Edition make a family’s dream come true.
"The reveal at the end of the project was pretty exciting. The family was shocked with disbelief when they saw their new 4,500 sq. foot home,” says Knape.
Carrier Rental Systems offers innovative temporary heating and cooling equipment, generators, boilers, dehumidifiers, and more. Even a short-term shut-down is expensive, and Carrier Rental Systems helps keep you in business during equipment malfunctions.
