RICHARDSON, Texas — On Saturday, Oct. 7, Lennox Industries Inc., along with 164 Lennox dealers, completed the installation of 175 new furnaces at no cost for families in need across eight northern states and four provinces in Canada as part of the company’s Heat UP Program. The Heat UP Program, launched in 2010, engages Lennox dealers and employees in a local partnership with their communities to nominate deserving families in need of a helping hand — specifically those needing a new furnace — prior to the start of the cold weather season.
In participating markets, the Heat UP Program invites individuals and local organizations to nominate families or individuals in their communities. Nominees are chosen based on a variety of criteria, including some type of hardship or challenge, and typically include families with military service and involvement in their community. Then, on the first Saturday in October, all participating Lennox dealers install new, high-efficiency Lennox gas furnaces for the selected nominees. Lennox provides the furnaces at no cost, and the dealers and their employees donate their labor and installation materials.
