How Can I Afford A New Cooling System?

Posted: July 2, 2020 by Andy

COVID-19 has impacted all of us, both financially and health-wise. We remain committed to providing the very best service to all our Northeast Ohio customers during this challenging time. Let's come together as the great community we are and help each other whenever and however we can.

We certainly understand how you may want to replace that older air conditioner, or even your furnace, with a new energy-efficient model. Still, you may be concerned about the timing. You'll be pleased to learn there are many excellent financing options available regardless of your current situation or credit history.

Heating and cooling equipment financing

We offer financing options with easy and quick approvals! Whether a costly part needs replaced or you want to purchase a whole new system, it's a snap to schedule an appointment with our helpful finance team. We'll guide you through the application process while getting you low monthly payment options (as low as $84!) and the lowest interest rates. We even offer 12 months same-as-cash!

Another option is to check with local and state governments to see if low-interest loans are available to purchase energy-efficient HVAC equipment. Many cities around the state offer programs designed to encourage green home improvements. A little research could save you a bunch of money.

Senior and veteran discount programs

Many options are available to seniors for heating and cooling system upgrades. Start by contacting your local aging agencies and work your way forward from there. These programs are designed to keep you safe, comfortable, and healthy in your own home.

If you're a veteran interested in making some HVAC improvements, you might consider applying with the Veteran Loan Center for a low-interest loan. Active-duty soldiers and veterans are eligible.

Explore rebates

We partner with many manufacturers and agencies that offer significant rebates. These can save you up to thousands of dollars, depending on the equipment you purchase. Our team will happily help you choose the right system for your lifestyle and budget, and then help fill out any available rebate forms.

Most older furnaces and air conditioners operate between 60% and 70% efficiency. That means at least 30c is wasted out of every dollar you invest to heat and cool your home. If you replace that older equipment with a newer 90+% efficient model, you'll save a lot of money on your monthly energy bills.

Likewise, energy efficiency directly affects the energy rebates that utility companies offer their customers. As above, the amount depends on the equipment you choose and its energy efficiency. Contact your energy company in advance of your purchase to get an idea of what to expect. You may also qualify for a tax break from the IRS on your new system.

Three reasons to replace

Upgrading your heating and cooling equipment can be a considerable expense, but it's a wise decision. Here's why it makes sense:

1. It'll increase your home's market value. We all buy new cars knowing that they depreciate as soon as we leave the dealership's lot. It's a sad-but-true fact. A reliable HVAC system does just the opposite - it adds value to your Northeast Ohio home. Efficient, environmentally-friendly homes with updated systems are proven to sell quicker and command a higher price than those with old, obsolete systems. Those manufacturer warranties, certifications, and seasonal maintenance plans all work together to make your home more marketable.

2. It'll improve your indoor air quality (IAQ). If a member of your family has allergies, asthma, or another respiratory condition, you're well aware of the importance of keeping your home's indoor air quality high. Our team can install HEPA air filters, air purification systems (like Air Scrubber Plus®), humidifiers, and other systems designed to improve and maintain your health.

3. It'll make your home more comfortable. If you improve your indoor air quality and reduce your carbon footprint, guess what? Your home is suddenly a whole lot more comfortable. Your new HVAC system uses less energy while running at peak capacity while lowering your utility bills at the same time. Breathe easy - you're home.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) says that most people spend 90% of their day indoors. Investing in your home, comfort, and health makes good sense.

Call us to learn about financing

We want to help you enjoy these hot, humid Ohio summers in comfort, with a cooling system that does its job well. Our team takes great pride in building lasting relationships with every customer. Your smiles make us smile!

We care about your family's comfort and health. Call us at 330-262-4100 or schedule online to learn more about the wealth of wonderful financing options available and how we can help you gain the comfort you deserve.
