Giving back: homeowner gets new A/C unit for free
(SECURITY-WIDEFIELD, Colo) — A homeowner in the Security-Widefield area was the beneficiary of a generous gift, which ended an unexpected heat wave he and his family have felt for over a week. 'Ten days ago, my A/C just stopped working,' said Edward Williams, the homeowner with the bad A/C unit. But a bad A/C is just another bump in a rough road Williams has traveled in recent years. 'Almost five years ago now, I was diagnosed with congestive heart failure brought on by sleep apnea, and it turned my world upside down,' Williams said. These days, Williams says he struggles breathing while doing simple everyday tasks like walking into the grocery store. Since he can't work because of his condition, the bills have piled up because the paychecks haven't been keeping up. 'I had some credit card bills I've had to face up to and deal with,' Williams said. When the A/C stopped working, technicians from Around The Clock stopped by to take a look at the problem. The diagnosis was that Williams's 23-year-old A/C unit needed to be replaced. So, on Friday, July 11th, a crew stopped by to put in a brand-new unit, which can cost anywhere from $6,500 to $9,000. For Williams, it did not cost him a thing. 'An unreal feeling, I couldn't believe it,' Williams said. Shane Noblet, a Service Manager at Around The Clock, was the one who visited the home to find the problem and began the process of making sure Williams did not have to pay for his A/C unit out of his pocket. 'After talking with him and kind of hearing his whole story, I felt like it was kind of my, you know, duty to try to do what I could for him,' Noblet said. But Williams did not just get an A/C unit by itself. 'We were able to do a furnace and air conditioning system and an indoor air quality package because he is on oxygen,' Noblet said. 'So, we wanted to kind of take care of his air as well. We were able to do an electrostatic filter and a UV light for him.' To put all of those features in, it would cost any other customer a pretty penny, as Noblet says the whole cost to get what Williams received ranges from $15,000 to $18,000. Williams, who is thankful for the generosity, says he is just glad he has working A/C and will be able to sleep in a cool home once again. 'I'll lay my head on my pillow tonight and it will be nice and cool,' Williams said. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Scottish renewables firm goes bust as more than 50 jobs lost
Levenseat Renewable Energy Ltd (LREL), based in South Lanarkshire, called in administrators on Thursday, who immediately cut 52 of the company's 89 jobs.

Sarah O'Toole and Edward Williams of PwC were appointed as joint administrators as the company entered administration.

'The administrators will retain some employees to support in winding down operations and clean-up of waste materials on site.' Levenseat Renewable Energy, which is an offshoot of Levenseat Ltd, was incorporated in 2014 and headquartered at the Levenseat Waste Management Site in Forth, South Lanarkshire. The firm has operated an energy-from-waste plant there since 2020. In recent years, the company has experienced outages due to machine failures, which has needed significant funding to fix. According to the latest full accounts on Companies House, Levenseat Renewable Energy reported a loss of more than £28 million in 2023, and was forced to negotiate deferred loan repayments until June 2025. Directors had hoped to secure crucial investments before that date, but they failed, leading them to declare the company insolvent.
