As the weather begins to turn cold, a reliable furnace is crucial for Iowans across the state. Natalie Miller, of Kalona, was recently a recipient of just that through the “Feel the Love” program.

“Feel the Love” was created by Lennox, an air conditioning and furnace manufacturer in Marshalltown. The program donates heating and air equipment to deserving residents. After a nomination and installation from Graber Heating & Air in Kalona, Miller received not just a new furnace, but an air conditioner as well.

Graber Heating & Air is a family-owned business founded in 1938. Spanning four generations, the business has provided heating and air to the Kalona area, including the furnace in Miller’s home 33 years prior. They believe that safe heating is something  everyone should have access to.

Nominations for next year’s event for residents within 30 miles of Kalona can be sent to graberheating@gmail.com or at www.feelthelove.com.
