Holiday Toy Drive

Celebrate Christmas in July with Jacob Heating and Cooling’s Toy Drive

July 21, 2025

The holidays may still be months away, but the team at Jacob Heating & Cooling is getting a head start on spreading seasonal cheer with our Christmas in July Toy Drive in support of Toys for Tots. We invite you to join us in helping local children have a joyful holiday season!

Help Us Bring Joy to Local Families This Christmas

It may be summertime, but the need for holiday assistance never takes a break. By donating in July, you’re giving organizations like Toys for Tots the time they need to collect, organize, and distribute toys to children across our community in time for the holidays.

We’re collecting new, unwrapped toys through the end of the month. Whether you’re picking up an extra toy while shopping or setting aside something special to give, every donation helps brighten a child’s holiday.

Where to Drop Off Your Toy Donation

All donations go directly to Toys for Tots for distribution this coming holiday season. Your early generosity helps ensure that no child is forgotten when December arrives.

What to Donate

Please donate new and unwrapped toys that are appropriate for children of various ages. Popular items include:

  • Dolls, action figures, and toy vehicles
  • Books, puzzles, and games
  • Art supplies and creative kits
  • Sports balls and small outdoor toys

Please avoid donating used or open items or toy weapons.

A/C Maintenance Tips for a More Comfortable Summer

Since the cool weather is still months away, take a moment to think about how your A/C system is holding up during the heat. A few easy maintenance steps can help keep your home comfortable, your system efficient, and your energy bills manageable:

1. Clean or Change Your Air Filter Regularly

A clogged air filter restricts airflow, which makes your system work harder and less efficiently. Check your air filter every month and replace or clean it as needed.

2. Keep the Outdoor Unit Clear

Leaves, grass, and debris around your A/C unit can reduce airflow and cause overheating. Make sure there’s at least two feet of clearance around the unit.

3. Check Your Thermostat Settings

Use a programmable thermostat to help control temperatures efficiently while you’re away. Set your thermostat a few degrees higher when no one’s home to help reduce energy usage.

4. Inspect Vents and Registers

Check to make sure all vents are open and unobstructed by rugs, furniture, or curtains. Blocked vents can reduce airflow and cause uneven cooling.

5. Look for Signs of Trouble

If you notice reduced airflow, strange noises, or warm air blowing from your vents, schedule a service visit sooner rather than later. Addressing small issues early can prevent larger repairs later on.

6. Schedule Preventive Maintenance

If it’s been more than a year since your last system check-up, consider scheduling a professional tune-up. A technician can inspect components, check refrigerant levels, and ensure everything is working as it should.
