‘Lennox Energy Savings Superstar' Contest to Promote Energy Conservation and Help One Lucky Homeowner Beat the Summer Heat with ‘Cool' Prize Package

RICHARDSON, TEXAS –June 28, 2018 – The dog days of summer are here, and Lennox, a leading provider of innovative home comfort products, is looking for some cool ideas for saving energy. Most American homeowners believe they deserve a passing grade when it comes to energy efficiency, according to the annual Lennox "Home Energy Report Card" survey, but many also recognize that there is room for improvement. Lennox is giving U.S. homeowners a chance to demonstrate their efficiency I.Q. by sharing their best energy-saving advice for a chance to win up to $10,000 in new, energy-efficient air conditioning (or heating) equipment for their home.

Creativity is key

To participate in the Lennox Energy Savings Superstar contest, a homeowner must submit his or her most creative and effective tips for saving energy at home, along with an original, creative photo depicting the tip. Lennox is accepting entries for the contest via the Lennox website (www.lennox.com). The contest will remain open through August 31, 2018.

The coolest prize on the block

A panel of judges will select four (4) homeowners with the most unique advice and creative photos to participate in a head-to-head public vote on the Lennox website to determine the winner of the ultimate heat-busting grand prize, which includes:

• Prize package includes a PureAirTM S whole-home air purification system and/or other Lennox heating, cooling and indoor air quality equipment selected by winner, not to exceed $10,000 USD in total value (including installation costs)
• A one-year supply of ice cream
• Four one-day tickets to a water park near the winner's home

"The annual Lennox Home Energy Report Card survey was just released. We found that there are many U.S. households that still need to take their energy efficiency efforts to the next level by taking proactive steps, such as replacing an old, inefficient air conditioning system with a new energy efficient model, which will ultimately lead to significantly lower energy bills," said Brittani Youman, energy efficiency expert at Lennox. "The Lennox Energy Savings Superstar contest, gives homeowners the opportunity to share their best energy savings advice in order to inspire others to improve their grade in Energy Savings 101 - and win the most reliable, quiet, and energy efficient home comfort products available on the market today."
