This year, Precision chose a family that lives in Leelanau County, near Cedar, Michigan. Every year the process of choosing a deserving family is both an honor and a great challenge. How do you put a measurement on who is most deserving of a furnace makeover? All the nominees were very qualified and indeed in great need of new furnaces. Many were facing challenges both financially and physically and yet they continued to keep their chins up and help out their neighbors in need.
I must say that this is one of the most heart-wrenching challenges that we as a company face each year. However, we felt that because of our candidate’s years of putting others first despite her own situation, she was a great choice. Her daughter has breathing problems and when they would heat with wood she would wake up in the middle of the night due to difficulty breathing. So on those occasions, they would dress very warm and huddle around a very small, 8″x 8″, space heater.
Thanks to Trane, we were able to install a whole-house CleanEffects air filtering system as well as a humidifier to improve the daughter’s breathing condition and a high-efficiency heat pump system that will cost-effectively heat their home for many years to come. We want to thank all who nominated friends, family, and acquaintances who were all very deserving. We again wish that we could put in a new system for each nominee.
We truly feel blessed to live in an area where people care so much about others and will reach out to them no matter how large their own needs. We saw this in both our nominees and those who took the time to nominate them. Thank you to each of you for making this possible for us.
