Local HVAC company launches free furnace giveaway to warm eastern Idaho homes this winter

As temperatures drop across eastern Idaho, one local company is stepping up in a big way to help families stay warm this winter. DR Heating and Plumbing has officially launched a Free Furnace Giveaway, a community-focused program that will provide four families with a brand-new furnace and full installation — completely free of charge.

Yes, you read that right: free furnace, free labor, no catch.

“Our community supports us every single day,” Josh Munns at DR Heating and Plumbing says. “This is our chance to give something meaningful back, especially during the coldest months of the year.”

Why the giveaway matters

Eastern Idaho winters are known for being long, harsh, and unforgiving. For some families, an old or failing furnace can mean unsafe conditions, skyrocketing utility bills, or days spent bundled in blankets hoping the heat kicks back on.

The giveaway isn’t just about comfort — it’s about safety, security, and giving families peace of mind.

How it works

Anyone in eastern Idaho can participate by nominating themselves or another family who could benefit from a new furnace. Nominations will remain open throughout December, with the goal of collecting as many heartfelt stories as possible.

A panel will review all submissions, and the four winning families will be selected in early January.

The company emphasizes that this program is about lifting up neighbors who may be struggling, going through a tough year, living with failing equipment, or simply needing a little help.

A fun & heartwarming community effort

Not only is the giveaway practical, it’s meant to be uplifting too. Past giveaways have sparked touching stories — from single parents trying to keep their kids warm, to senior citizens relying on outdated systems, to families who just need one break to get back on their feet.

The company hopes this year’s event will encourage community members to look out for one another and share stories of deserving individuals.

How to enter

Nominations can be submitted throughout December via https://drheatingandplumbing.com/nominate.

Nominees should live in eastern Idaho and be in need of a furnace replacement. There are no income requirements or lengthy forms — just a sincere explanation of why the family could benefit from the giveaway.

A warm start to the new year

Four winners will be chosen in the first part of January, right when Idaho’s coldest winter stretch typically hits. Installations will be scheduled immediately so families can enjoy safe, reliable heat for the rest of the season.

“This isn’t just a giveaway, It’s about making sure every family has the chance to stay warm this winter. No one should have to struggle when temperatures drop” says Munns.

How you can help

Spread the word. Share the giveaway with neighbors, coworkers, online community groups and anyone who might know a family in need. A nomination could make all the difference.
