Lennox 'Feel the Love' Campaign Donates 413 HVAC Units

Dec. 10, 2024
Families in need have new comfort systems, thanks to Lennox and partnering HVAC contractors.

RICHARDSON, Texas – Marking its 15th year anniversary, Feel The Love, sponsored by the LII Lennox Foundation, donated 413 heating and cooling (HVAC) units to deserving homeowners during Installation Week, which occurred from October 5-12. 

Dealers across 45 states in the U.S. and several Canadian provinces worked alongside Lennox to install HVAC units for nominated recipients and beloved local heroes free of cost. Whether the recipient had been affected by financial challenges, unexpected injury or illness or other difficult circumstances, Feel The Love supported their needs by providing perfect air to keep their home at the ideal temperature through increasingly extreme winter and summer seasons.  

The donated units are the most efficient and modern designs, helping to keep energy bills down for recipients, heat and cool the home with less energy and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, ultimately showcasing Lennox’ dedication to long-term investments in the community.   

“We were really taken aback because this is a huge relief for me as a father,” says Mike Hooper, 2024 Feel The Love recipient. “When we heard about the (Feel The Love) program, we were just taken away. I am just really grateful for the relief this program has provided for us.” 

Feel The Love is sponsored by the Lennox Foundation. Established in 2023, the LII Lennox Foundation is committed to improving the communities where Lennox employees work and live through impactful programs, strong partnerships and an emphasis on employee volunteerism.  

Over 2,750 families in need have benefited from Feel The Love since it was first launched in 2009. Stay up to date on Feel The Love by following along with @LennoxFeelTheLove on Facebook. To nominate a member of your community for next year’s Installation Week, visit FeelTheLove.com

Reliable Comfort for Beloved Accident Victim

  • Recipient Name: Mike & Sarah Hooper 
  • Location: Winchester, California 
  • Dealer: We Care Plumbing, Heating and Air

On June 1, 2023, the Hooper family experienced a devastating tragedy. Mike and Sarah Hooper's son was driving home from his high school graduation with his girlfriend and his sister, when they were broadsided by someone running a red light. His girlfriend did not survive the accident, and his sister suffered a traumatic brain Injury (TBI). After seven months in various hospitals, battling seizures and the long-term effects of her injury, she is now at home.An added challenge was posed by a failing HVAC system. Since it's so hard for the sister to regulate her temperature with her TBI, it's important that they have a reliable HVAC system. The accident was a big financial burden on the Hooper family and a new system has helped them have one less thing that they need to worry about. 

Indoor Comfort for Confined Loved One

  • Recipient Name: Kimberly and Amber Koberstein
  • Location: Bedford Township, MI
  • Dealer: Zimmerman Heating Company

Kimberly Koberstein is a single mother to her daughter Amber, who is confined to a wheelchair, causing her to spend most of her time at home or at doctor’s appointments. Despite her disability, Amber is described by those around her as strong and positive. Because of the amount of time spent at home, it is paramount that their home remains at a comfortable temperature. As a single mother, Kimberly is responsible for being a working mom and caregiver. When faced with financial troubles, Kimberly was not able to afford a working HVAC system. This compassionate and kind family was supported by the Lennox Feel The Love program to provide a more comfortable home for years to come.
