Contest Seeks Most Uncomfortable Home

Lennox — a manufacturer of heating, cooling and indoor air quality equipment — is looking for the most uncomfortable home in North America.

Lennox is a member of the National Council of the Housing Industry — the Supplier 100 of NAHB.

The winner of the Second Annual Lennox Home Comfort Makeover Contest will receive a complete home makeover worth up to $60,000, including:

  • Personal consultations with a home comfort specialist and accredited interior designer

  • An interior design makeover worth $35,000 for paint, furnishings, decorative accessories, draperies and other materials plus labor

  • A new, innovative Lennox integrated home comfort system that not only heats and cools, but also lets the home owner control the humidity and customize the airflow for optimal comfort and indoor air quality

Home owners who are waiting for an excuse to peel away floral wallpaper, replace 1980s fabric-covered vertical blinds or get rid of a mysterious musty smell in the family room are encouraged to enter.

Mailed entries must be postmarked by Aug. 31 and received by Sept. 7. Entries online must be received by Aug. 31 before midnight Central Daylight Savings Time.

Along with the entry form, contestants are asked to submit up to four original, unaltered color photographs or one-minute of unedited video footage of the most uncomfortable aspects of their home.
