Operation Warm Christmas: Giving warmth

TERRE HAUTE Crews from a Wabash Valley heating and cooling business traveled in two different directions one went north and the other south during the early, cold Saturday hours with one mission for the day: to bring warmth to two Terre Haute homes this season.

The technicians at Paitson Bros Heating and Air Conditioning and a representative from its furnace supplier, Lennox Industries, volunteered their time and talents to help keep two families safe and warm this winter.

As part of Operation Warm Christmas, Paitson Bros and Lennox Industries have partnered to provide two families in need with a brand new Lennox heating system. Lennox Industries supplied a high efficiency gas furnace to one home and an electric air handler to the other. Paitson Bros supplied the labor, thermostat, gas pipe and other necessary equipment for installation.

All free of charge to the families.

Paitson Bros General Manager Ethan Rayburn said this is the companys and the employees way of giving back to the community.

Our guys [are] skilled at putting in furnaces. One way we can contribute and give back to Terre Haute is to do furnace work, he said.

Especially during the holidays.

This is the time of year when we are receiving a gift. Its our way of giving a gift back, Rayburn said.

And this gift was substantial.

The retail value of the gas furnace installed at one of the homes was about $4,500, Rayburn said. The electric one cost about $3,000.
