We are a family-owned business built on the values of trust, quality service, and a deep commitment to the safety and comfort of everyone in the Old Pueblo and surrounding areas.
In honor of Veterans Day 2025, Hamstra Heating & Cooling is proud to announce our annual Veterans Day Furnace Giveaway. This initiative is dedicated exclusively to U.S. military veterans who have served our country.
We are asking the Southern Arizona community to nominate a deserving veteran to receive a complimentary, fully installed high-efficiency furnace. This is a small token of our gratitude for their immense service and sacrifice for our nation.
Submission Period: Nominations are open from November 1 through November 15, 2025.
