The city of Phoenix Human Services Dept. is helping to keep senior citizens and disabled residents cool this summer through its ?‘Summer 2003 Cooler Start-Up Program?’. The program helps residents who might not otherwise be able, to afford repairs on their cooling systems, using money from the state-funded Utility Repair and Replacement Program.

To qualify, residents must be 60 years old or over, or disabled, and meet low-income requirements. They must also own their own home and not have participated in this program in the past 12 months. Services may include inspecting and replacing cooler motor and belt, changing the pump or pads, shutting down the furnace or replacing the system when repair costs exceed replace?­ment costs. For more information, call 602-262-4614...☺
