FORT WAYNE, Ind. — WaterFurnace International Inc. is donating a complete Synergy3D residential geothermal system for a new smart home in Lake of the Ozarks, Mo., for Marine Cpl. Todd Nicely. Nicely, one of three surviving quadruple amputees from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, lost both arms and legs when he stepped on an improvised explosive device in 2010.
After learning that the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation and the Gary Sinise Foundation was building a home to honor Nicely, Art Carlo, WaterFurnace distribution manager and a former Marine, immediately wanted to help. “I called WaterFurnace president Tom Huntington about donating a complete geothermal system and he jumped on board,” Carlo said. WaterFurnace dealers Rehagen HVAC and Comfort Care Heating & Cooling will donate the labor to install Nicely’s HVAC and plumbing system; Rehagen will provide ductwork as well.
