One Dauphin family can feel the love with Lennox and Steiner Plumbing and Heating by receiving a new furnace, just in time for winter.
It’s part if the 'Feel The Love' program that takes place on October 6th across North America.
On that day all participating Lennox dealer are installing new gas furnaces for the selected candidates at no cost. The dealers and their employees donate their labour and installation material.
Carla Wolfenden, the owner of Steiner Plumbing & Heating, is excited to be bringing this program to Dauphin.
“It started in Wisconsin by a Lennox dealer there where he wanted to give back to his community and help a family in need by providing them with a free furnace. It became so popular it spread across Wisconsin for a few years and they have installed a lot of them there. It spread across the United States and now into Canada the last couple of years. Now it’s in 22 states and provinces and they’ve installed hundreds of furnaces since the program started.”
“We first heard about the program when we were at an industry conference a couple of years ago,” Wolfenden continued. “It wasn’t in Canada yet, but we did express interest if it did ever come to Canada we would like to participate. It’s something Dauphin would really get behind, and I know we would really like to help out a family here. So we signed up and we hope that we get a lot of nominations before the deadline.”
Some of the criteria Lennox Industries look at include financial challenges, job loss, military service, and community service. As well as physical, mental, or social disabilities.
Wolfenden says all nominations are submitted online to Lennox where they choose a short list of three to five finalists. With that list, the local dealership gets to decide the family.
