For Adam and Esther Kuehl of Kewaunee County, last Saturday was more than just an average furnace installation. The family of six was this year’s recipients of the Lennox Feel the Love program, a nationwide initiative that provides new heating and cooling units to the homes of area residents who have demonstrated exceptional generosity. Esther is an Emergency Medical Technician, and when she is not working, she is teaching the next generation of EMTs to give back to the community. Ultimate Air owner Jeff Blemke visited with the Kuehl family and says there was something about them that made him realize that they deserved a little more.

Over the years, Feel the Love and its predecessor, Heat UP Wisconsin, have been a daylong celebration. In addition to having the entire Ultimate Air team on-site to help, businesses like Stodola’s IGA and The Rendezvous of Luxemburg also threw in their support to make sure the family and the crew were fed. Installation Technician Jack Tebon says that, in his short time with the company, "Feel the Love" is one of his favorite days of the year.
