Barron KARES
Kindness, Appreciation, Response, Empathy, and Service
Barron KARES is our commitment to sharing kindness and appreciation within our community through a hands-on response rooted in empathy and service. Each month, we shine a spotlight on a different charity or non-profit organization that holds high esteem among Team Barron and within the communities we serve. Barron KARES provides a charitable donation of $110 on select purchases, such as tankless water heaters, heat pumps, solar installations, generators, and more.
Why $110? It carries a profound significance rooted in the wisdom of our owner John Barron’s mentor, who advised, "Go above and beyond your call of duty—push past 100, give 110% every time." This philosophy of exceeding expectations has become a guiding principle for us. John and Brad Barron, his son and company CEO, personify this commitment in every aspect of their work and inspire the greater Barron team to do the same.
With Barron KARES, we see our commitment as more than a monetary donation. It represents a dedication to making a tangible, positive impact on the causes and individuals we support. By featuring a different charity or non-profit each month, we hope to help illuminate organizations that align with our values and resonate with our team and communities.
Being a family-run business since 1972 has instilled in us a deep appreciation for the community. Our Mission: Improving Lives™ is not just a tagline; it encapsulates our enduring commitment to making a positive difference in the lives of those we serve. Through Barron KARES, we extend this commitment, ensuring that Kindness, Appreciation, Response, Empathy, and Service are not just words but principles we actively live by.


Barron KARES | September Feature: Christian Hope Association
This September, Barron KARES is proud to support Christian Hope Association.
Christian Hope Association is a trusted resource in Whatcom County, providing hope, healing, and practical support to individuals and families facing difficult circumstances. Their mission is to address immediate physical needs while confronting the effects of brokenness and helping people find a path toward lasting stability.
Through two core programs, Christian Hope Association provides both immediate assistance and long-term support. Project Hope offers food, community assistance, and connection at the point of need, while New Way is a Christ-inspired housing program for mothers and children, helping families find healing, stability, and a stronger future.
By providing relief today while helping build a foundation for tomorrow, Christian Hope Association is restoring lives and building futures throughout our community.
Throughout September, Barron KARES will donate $110 from every qualifying system sold to Christian Hope Association to support their mission. Eligible purchases include heat pumps, AC systems, furnaces, solar, generators, tankless water heaters, and more.
Plus, our partner Daikin is joining the effort by donating an additional $100 for every Daikin FIT system sold, helping make an even greater impact for Christian Hope Association and their mission. Together, every qualifying Daikin FIT installation generates $210 in support of Christian Hope Association.
Thank you, Christian Hope Association, for providing hope and healing to families throughout our community. With the support of our Barron customers, we're proud to support this impactful organization. Every purchase helps make a difference.
