MAY 1 TO MAY 31

Contest Rules & Dates:

All applicants must post at least one photo of their abominable AC or horrendous heat pump (condenser, or outside unit), and one photo of their furnace (in the comments section of the AC photo), to the comments section of our original Facebook post. Applicants must also like Kamloops Heating & Air Conditioning’s Facebook page and share our post for the Abominable AC (& Heat Pump) Contest. If you did not complete these three steps you will not be considered for the contest.

** This contest is for the replacement of a central air conditioner or heat pump, with a new Lennox high efficiency heat pump. Portable air conditioners, window air conditioners, PTAC (packacked terminal air conditioners, through the wall air conditioners, and mini splits are not eligible). **

The contest opens on May 1, 2023.

Entries must be in by May 31, 2023.

Three finalists will be selected on June 2, 2023.

Heating & Air Conditioning Ltd. employees will each cast their vote for the most abominable AC, or Horrible Heat Pump on June 5, 2023. The entry with the most selections will be selected as the winner.

One of our technicians will attend the residence between June 6, 2023, and June 9, 2023, to verify that the central air conditioner meets all qualifications.

The winner will be announced on our Facebook page on June 11, 2023.

THE ABOMINABLE AC CONTEST GUIDELINES ARE AS FOLLOWS:
