Lennox Donates 400+ HVAC Units to Homeowners in Need to Provide Year-Round Comfort

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 hard work and generosity of our dealers and their employees have allowed us to bring comfort to deserving members of the community," says Gary Bedard, EVP & President, Lennox Home Comfort Solutions. "Over the past 15 years, we've made a positive impact, and we look forward to continuing our mission of providing essential HVAC solutions to our neighbors in need.” 

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 LII 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.
