Representatives from the Flowco oil and gas company stand with Northeast Texas Habitat for Humanity staff during a donation event at Northeast Texas Habitat for Humanity in Longview on Thursday, August 6, 2026. The program came under the management of Habitat for Humanity in 2014, expanding its reach beyond Longview. Since the program’s inception, volunteers have installed hundreds of air conditioning units in East Texas homes. High heat can be particularly deadly for elderly people who live in homes without air conditioning, Dean previously said. The program provides between seven and 15 air conditioning units per year on average, with each unit costing around $250.
