Kellam Mechanical comes to the rescue to cool critters
In the middle of a late July heat wave in 2006, a drunk driver crashed into a utility pole on Holland Road which knocked power out at the Virginia Beach SPCA. When power crews restored service, three of the air conditioners in the SPCA facility were single phased. Two were completely destroyed and the main unit was severely damaged. After the story aired on the local news reporting sweltering conditions, noting that some windows could not be opened to relieve some of the stagnant heat, Scott Kellam and his lead technician showed up the next day to donate labor toward a new York unit which was donated by Virginia Air Distributors. With the help from Kellam Mechanical and some other local caring businesses, the animals in the shelter were comfortable within 24 hours. We are proud to support our local SPCA.
