Last week, a 71-year-old woman named Penny called into a radio show to discuss the affordability of HVAC systems in the state. During the call, she teared up and explained that she had no money to pay for a new system after hers broke down two years earlier. Within minutes of the call, Ryan, a service manager with First Choice Plumbing and Heating, called in and offered to provide a free system and installation. A new friendship was born on the spot. Jodi and I were thrilled to meet Penny at her home as the guys from First Choice wrapped up the installation of her brand-new system. Ed, the owner of First Choice, went further than just donating the system and labor. He went to the property management office before our arrival and paid Penny’s HOA fees for the rest of the year. What a kind gesture among strangers! As I’ve said for years, Jersey is a great place. We have an edge for sure, and we like it, but when it comes to stepping up for people in need, no one is more generous and kinder than New Jerseyans. Watch the video of our first meeting with Penny.
