An Oregon couple facing financial hardship can now endure the winter in comfort and with ‘peace of mind’ since a new HVAC system was installed in their home at no cost.
Diane and Brian Johnsen of Beaverton received a complete heating and cooling system installed—valued at approximately $16,000—with the labor performed by local contractor Aviator Heating & Cooling.
The homeowners had been navigating difficult circumstances, including financial pressures that led the wife to work three jobs to help keep up with the mortgage.
When their existing HVAC system could no longer be repaired, a replacement was the only option, so they applied for the Lennox Feel the Love program.
It’s described as a community initiative that helps qualifying homeowners receive essential home improvements for free.
The gift brought much-needed relief included a new heating/cooling system and thermostat, with Aviator handling the on-site installation.
“Are you kidding?” Brian quipped to KOIN-TV news in the video below. “We were ecstatic.”
Before-and-after photos show the home’s aging furnace and the new energy-efficient equipment that will provide reliable heating and cooling throughout the couple’s retirement years.
Since 2009, the Lennox Feel the Love program has helped more than 3,100 families with HVAC system donations. You can submit a nomination on their webpage, here.
Aviator says it’s committed to helping families in need throughout Beaverton, Portland, and surrounding Oregon and south-east Washington communities.
“Especially in our retirement years,” Diane added in the interview below. “It means the world to us.”
