“The Feel The Love program provides participating Lennox dealers and local community members an opportunity to come together to support those in need of heating and cooling equipment,” said Gary Bedard, a Lennox executive vice president and president of Lennox Home Comfort Solutions, in a press release. “The impact of this program and the number of lives changed is truly inspiring, and we look forward to ensuring even more of our communities Feel The Love this year.”

Established in 2023 by Lennox, the LII Lennox Foundation expands the company’s charitable actions through programs like Feel the Love, partnerships with organizations such as Operation Warm, and an emphasis on employee volunteerism, the press release said.

Since its launch in 2009, Feel The Love has installed more than 2,300 heating and cooling systems for homeowners in need and more than $12.6 million in donated materials.

“I can’t thank you guys enough. … I can breathe, I’m relieved, I don’t have to worry,” said Danielle Staffeldt, a wife and mother of six children and a recipient of new HVAC equipment through the Lennox Feel The Love program. “It’s such a powerful thing to be able to give to people and know that people care about complete strangers. It just means so much. I’m so grateful.”

During Feel The Love Installation Week, October 5-12, selected recipients will receive brand-new HVAC equipment. For updates on the 2024 Feel The Love program, follow @LennoxFeelTheLove on Facebook.
