Jarboe’s Heating, Cooling & Plumbing, a leading heating, cooling and plumbing company serving greater Louisville, is proud to announce it is providing a complimentary Carrier home heating and cooling system to an outstanding local educator. Since 2022, Jarboe’s Heating, Cooling & Plumbing has provided a free heating and cooling system to an educator in the Louisville area.

This year, a free Carrier home heating and cooling system is being given to Becky Jacoby, a kindergarten teacher at J-Town Elementary in the Jefferson County Public School district. She’s been a teacher for about two decades and got her start teaching English as a second language (ESL) to middle school students. It’s not uncommon for Jacoby to use her own funds to make sure all her students have the supplies needed to learn. She is beloved by both her students and her own family, including two children.

“Our teachers invest in local youth every day. Today, we are so proud to invest in one of them,” said Mike Roszkowski, president of Jarboe’s Heating, Cooling & Plumbing. “Supporting a local educator each year is something we are incredibly proud of here at Jarboe’s. We are thrilled to celebrate Ms. Jacoby and the contributions she makes in the classroom.”

“I feel so fortunate to have been selected by a company that appreciates the teachers in the community,” Jacoby said. “There are many reasons why I enjoy being a teacher: making a difference, a sense of purpose, building relationships and my love of learning to name a few. The joy in a child’s face when they finally understand a concept is priceless. The pride I feel in seeing students use a strategy I taught or show another student how to solve a problem they have mastered makes it all worthwhile.”

Jarboe’s Heating, Cooling & Plumbing’s teacher home comfort system giveaway is part of its MAX Gives initiative that focuses on charitable contributions to the communities in which the company serves. Other initiatives have included HVAC giveaways to families in need, water heater giveaways to first responders and community volunteers, monetary contributions to local charities, scholarships to deserving high school seniors, and donations to local families in need during the holiday season.
