The Best Way We Know How (With a Brand-New Trane System)
At Quality Heating & Cooling, we believe in doing more than just delivering top-notch comfort—we believe in doing what’s right. And sometimes, doing what’s right means going beyond the expected and showing deep appreciation to someone whose actions made a life-changing difference.
Recently, we had the privilege of hearing about a true local hero. What started as a simple message to our team quickly became something too meaningful not to share with the world.
A Private Message with a Powerful Impact
A few days ago, our owner, Reid, sent a heartfelt message to our team. Here’s what he wrote:
“Hey everyone I just met this guy and his story is incredible. Right person at the right place at the right time. I was so moved by his actions I am covering the cost of a completely new Trane system for him and his kids. Please read this article and be thankful for people like this.”
While this was originally a private note intended to coordinate a system installation, it spoke volumes about the kind of company we are—and the kind of man Reid is. We felt the story deserved more than a quiet installation. It deserved to be shared, because it represents our compassion, community, and gratitude.
Meet Mike Cameron – A Real-Life Hero
Mike Cameron, a North Canton resident and former firefighter, was visiting the Uhrichsville Water Park on July 6 when a crisis unfolded. A 3-year-old boy was discovered unresponsive in the main pool.
Thanks to the quick response of lifeguards and bystanders—including Mike, who jumped into action and performed chest compressions—a life was saved. Mike later humbly described the experience as a miracle. We believe his courage, fast thinking, and selflessness made all the difference.

Gratitude in Action – A New Trane System for a Local Hero
When Reid heard Mike’s story, he knew he couldn’t let this moment pass without expressing deep appreciation in a tangible way. That’s when he made the decision to gift Mike and his family a brand-new Trane heating and cooling system—installed free of charge by our team.
At Quality Heating & Cooling, we install Trane because we believe in giving our customers the absolute best. And for someone who gave the best of himself when it mattered most, it felt like the perfect way to say thank you.
This Is Why We Do What We Do
We may be in the comfort business, but stories like this are what truly warms our hearts. It’s an honor to work for a company that leads with kindness and recognizes the everyday heroes among us.
Our team was so inspired by Mike’s story that it sparked conversations across departments—about bravery, community, and what it means to make a difference. While Reid’s message was meant to inform the crew about the installation, we just couldn’t keep this to ourselves.
This is why we do what we do—and why our team always feels empowered to go the extra mile. Whether it’s ensuring your family’s comfort or honoring someone who’s made a life-saving impact, we’re here to serve with heart.
Operation: Quality Gives Back
At the core of our mission is Operation: Quality Gives Back—our ongoing initiative to support and recognize the everyday heroes who serve our communities. Through this program, we aim to give back to educators, veterans and military personnel, and first responders including firefighters, EMTs, and law enforcement officers.
When we learned Mike’s story, we immediately saw how perfectly it aligned with this mission. As a former firefighter who continues to act with selfless courage, Mike embodies the very spirit of this initiative. Honoring him with a new Trane system wasn’t just a thank-you—it was a continuation of our commitment to lift up those who make our communities safer, stronger, and better every day.
Through Operation: Quality Gives Back, we’re not just providing comfort—we’re spreading gratitude. And heroes like Mike remind us why that matters.
A Reminder of What Really Matters
In a world that often moves too fast, it’s easy to overlook the everyday heroes around us. But Mike’s story is a powerful reminder: one person’s courage can change everything.
To Mike Cameron: thank you for your quick thinking, your compassion, and your willingness to step in when it mattered most. We’re proud to recognize your bravery the best way we know how—with a reliable, energy-efficient Trane system that will keep your family comfortable for years to come.
From all of us at Quality Heating & Cooling—thank you for being the kind of person who inspires others to do good. Together, we’re building a stronger, more caring community—one act of kindness at a time.
