Definition
HVAC financing is a loan or credit plan that lets a homeowner pay for heating and cooling equipment, installation or major repairs over time instead of all at once. Rates, terms and approval are set by the lender, not the contractor, and depend on the applicant's credit. Applications are often started through the contractor.
Why it matters to you.
A furnace that quits in a January cold snap or an air conditioner that fails in a humid August week rarely arrives on a convenient budget schedule, and financing can spread a replacement's cost over time. Feistritzer offers financing on new systems with approved credit; current plans are listed on the financing page.
Practical guidance.
Before you sign, read the lender's disclosed rate, term, total repayment and any promotional-period conditions, such as deferred interest, and compare them with paying from savings. Make sure the financed amount matches a written quote with model numbers.
