Diversified Heating & Cooling celebrates 2nd annual Heat Pump Giveaway, doubling the warmth this Thanksgiving season

BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) — As temperatures drop and the holidays draw near, Diversified Heating & Cooling is once again giving back to the Central Oregon community in a big way.

Celebrating the second year of their annual Heat Pump Giveaway, the local, family-owned company is turning up the heat — literally — by giving away two brand-new, energy-efficient heat pump systems, each valued at over $15,000, the company said in a news release Tuesday that continues below:

The initiative, created to support families in need of reliable heating and cooling, has become a heartwarming local tradition. Last year, Diversified awarded one deserving family a free heat pump system and installation, changing the way they experienced comfort at home. This year, the company wanted to make an even bigger impact by doubling the number of recipients.

“The support we’ve received from this community is incredible, and we want to keep paying that forward,” said Ken Ledbetter, co-owner of Diversified Heating & Cooling. “No one should have to worry about staying warm in winter. Giving away two systems this year is our way of saying thank you and helping families who need it most.”

Each system includes professional installation by Diversified’s expert technicians, as well as all electrical work done by Pro Electric, ensuring that the winning families enjoy long-term comfort and efficiency at no cost.

Community members are encouraged to nominate themselves, friends, or family who could benefit from a new heating and cooling system. Nominations are open now through November 30, 2025, and can be submitted through the company’s website.

“This isn’t just about a giveaway — it’s about bringing warmth, relief, and hope to people who truly deserve it,” Ledbetter added.

Winners will be announced in early December, just in time for the holidays.
