Dirk Roper, owner and CEO of Roper’s Heating and Air Conditioning, makes his first of many deliveries of the summer of 40 fans to the Carson City Senior Center as part of the KOLOCares 2025 Fan Drive to help Carson City seniors stay cool this summer.
This donation hovers near the 600 mark for new fans Roper’s has donated to the Senior Center for distribution to local seniors.
Last year, according to the Senior Center, well over 400 fans were distributed through community donations, including the Roper’s cache.

“Our hottest months are upon us,” Roper said. “For our seniors who may not have air conditioning, a fan can move air around and create a cooling effect. Seniors are extremely sensitive to excessive heat and a fan can make a big difference in their comfort and welfare.”
Seniors aged 60 or older are eligible to receive a new fan from the Carson City Senior Center.
