In a family’s lowest moments, it is the simplest things that can make a difference. Lennox’s Feel the Love program has helped communities since 2009 by partnering with local contractors to install furnaces and air conditioners free of charge for those who need them most.

It is a program that Ultimate Air in Luxemburg has been part of for close to 15 years. Owner Jeff Blemke believes some of his favorite days on the job have come during Feel the Love installation days, especially when watching his employees’ families interact with the recipients of the equipment.

He says one of the most powerful moments came when his team gathered around a recipient in his hospital bed at home. The man thanked them, knowing he would not get to experience the comfort of the new furnace for long because of his battle with cancer.

You can nominate a friend, neighbor or family member for the Lennox Feel the Love program at this link. Nominations close Aug. 31, with the units installed in early October. More than 3,100 families have been supported by the Lennox Feel the Love program since it began in 2009.
