At Appel Heating and Air Conditioning, we care about our community. So when we heard about a local family that needed a new furnace, we jumped at the chance to help out.

Photo 1: This is what we found when we got to the home: a cheap, old furnace stuffed with a tangled mess of wires. This is how it came, straight from the factory…. Yikes!
Ironically, the old furnace was installed years ago by our technician Eric (long before he joined the Appel team). His son Josh is the installer who replaced it, and both of them know the family this new furnace will be keeping nice and toasty.
Photo 2: This photo shows how Josh made a return air plenum. The old setup had no provision for a filter, so he incorporated a filter rack. The plenum is the heart of an HVAC duct system, so it’s important that it has all the proper components.
Photo 3: Here’s the shiny, new furnace: an 80% efficient Concord, generously donated by Ted Kolbus of Capitol Supplies, Indianapolis. Concord is part of Allied Air, a division of Lennox. Note how neat and tidy the wiring is!
Photo 4: This new beauty should keep the family comfortable and warm for years to come!
