For months we have been telling you about Lennox Feel The Love 2026, and today we finally get to take you along for the installation. The video above tells the story of Miss Lindsey, our selected recipient, and the new Lennox heating and cooling system she received at no cost.
If you are new to the story, here is the short version: Lennox donated the equipment, and Family Air Experts donated the installation, labor, time, and materials. That is how a system that was installed in 1997 got replaced.
Taking you along for the install
Everything we have shared about this program so far has been the lead-up: the announcement that we joined Feel The Love 2026, the news that a local recipient had been selected, and then the chance to meet Miss Lindsey. This is the chapter we have been waiting to share, because it shows what the program actually looks like when the new system goes in.
We would rather you watch it than read our description of it, so press play on the video at the top of this page. It runs just over three minutes.
Who Miss Lindsey is
Miss Lindsey is one of those people a community quietly runs on. She looks out for her neighbors, she is active and genuinely helpful in her church, and she has been a fixture around here for a long time. A lot of us grew up knowing her and her family. If you want the full introduction, our post Meet Miss Lindsey, Our 2026 Lennox Feel The Love Recipient tells it in her community’s own words.
Why her system needed to be replaced
The system at Miss Lindsey’s home was installed in 1997. It is a gas furnace paired with air conditioning, and it had been running for nearly thirty years in Florida heat. Our team has been the one patching and repairing it along the way, doing what could reasonably be done to buy it more time. It was well past the point where any system should be asked to keep going.
Equipment from that era also tends to run on R-22 refrigerant, which the EPA phased out of production and import in the United States as of January 1, 2020, and it was built to an efficiency standard far below what is required today. If your own system is getting up there in years, our guide to repairing or replacing an AC in Florida can help you decide before the system picks the timing for you.
How Feel The Love works
Feel The Love is a program run by Lennox and the LII Lennox Foundation. Every year, participating dealers across the country nominate homeowners in their own communities, and during one week in October those homeowners receive a new heating and cooling system at no cost.
Lennox provides the new equipment. Family Air Experts donates the installation, the labor, the time, and the materials needed to get it in and running properly. Nobody invoices Miss Lindsey for any of it. It is also the same work we would do on any AC installation, with the same standards and the same attention to the details that decide whether a system actually performs. Homeowners in town can see how we handle that on our AC installation page for Fort Pierce.
Installation Week 2026
Feel The Love Installation Week ran October 3 through October 11, 2026, and that is when Miss Lindsey’s new system went in. We documented the install so we could share it with you, and the video above is the result.
Thank you
Thank you to Lennox and the LII Lennox Foundation for making the program possible, and to everyone in the community who takes the time to nominate someone. Thank you as well to our partners on this project: the video was shot and edited by YVM Studio, and the photography was done by Mariajose Photography. And thank you, Miss Lindsey, for letting us be part of this.
Follow the whole Feel The Love story
You can read every chapter of this year’s story in our Feel The Love archive, and see more of what we do in the community on our Community Involvement page.
If your own system is showing its age, we would be glad to take a look. You can request a free AC estimate and we will walk you through your options.
