We call it Mount Ghetto: Colorado HVAC company wont service colored neighborhood
heating and cooling company that claims to serve the entire Denver region refuses service homes in a racially diverse neighborhood it refers to as Mount Ghetto, a local Fox affiliate reports.
A concerned employee at Mile High Heating and Cooling in Westminster, Colorado alerted the Problem Solvers at FOX31 Denver to the companys racist service policies. To investigate the claim, the reporting team sent a producer to apply for an appointment setter position Mile High happened to be advertising at the time.
A manager at the company, who FOX31 Denver refers to only as Andrea, hired the news producer to book appointments at one of Denvers premier residential and commercial HVAC companies almost immediately. Within an hour, Andrea was training the reporter on how to cold call around the region to identify new customers.
Andrea gave the producer a paper schedule of which zip codes to concentrate calls on in the coming days. The producer asked why one certain zip code the one for Denvers Montebello neighborhood had the words do not call written under it on the list.
