OPERATION WARM WISHES 2026
A Free Home Comfort System for a Outer Banks Family in Need
As the days get shorter and the air turns cold, a warm home stops being a nice-to-have and becomes the thing that makes everything else possible. That’s what Operation Warm Wishes is about: making sure one more family in the Outer Banks gets to feel that warmth this winter, no matter what.
A Tradition of Giving Back
Every year, R.A. Hoy gives away a brand-new, high-efficiency heating and cooling system, installation included, to a deserving person or family in our community.
This year, we’re proud to partner with Ferrguson, who is donating the new HVAC system. Our own certified technicians at R.A. Hoy will handle the complete installation, at no cost to the winner.
Share a Story, Change a Life
You know someone whose story deserves to be told: a neighbor who’s always the one helping others, a friend quietly facing a hard year, a family member who never asks for anything back. This is the chance to do something about it.
