A replacement of their system could mean the difference between life and death.

We had the great honor of installing a complete Trane Heating System as well as a new water heater for this year’s Extreme Precision Makeover winning family! The family had hit very hard times between the lack of income and health issues. We found a very unsafe and barely working very inefficient 30+-year-old furnace located about 15 feet away from the master bed and a water heater that was the same age and in the same poor condition. With certain carbon monoxide issues for this family, a replacement of their system could mean the difference between life and death. With the water heater being provided by Ferguson Enterprises and the furance equipment by Trane, we were able to install a highly efficient new system for this beautiful family. When we arrived to do the installation they were both surprised and overwhelmed and we could see by the look of extreme gratitude on the mom’s face that we had made the right choice. We wish this sweet family a bright and beautiful future to raise their children in a home without the worry of a furnace breaking down.

We struggle every year to narrow it down to just one winner and we thank everyone who participated by submitting the many nominations once again this year. We look forward to being able to do this again in 2012 and are accepting nominations for the upcoming winter season. Thank you again to our great Northern Michigan neighbors for getting actively involved in this gift of warmth!
