Smart Investments: How To Choose the Right Financing Plan for Your New HVAC System

HVAC systems are integral to making your living environment comfortable. However, they can quickly become costly. Therefore, when it’s time to buy a new air conditioning unit or replace an HVAC system that has seen better days, many people opt for financing to make the purchase more affordable.

However, just like other types of financing, navigating the world of HVAC financing requires careful planning to avoid locking into expensive long-term deals. We’ll look at how you can make the right choice for your purchase.

Understand Your Budget and Needs

The first thing you should do before settling on an HVAC financing option is to assess your financial health and your unique needs. 

What is your budget for the HVAC system? How much can you comfortably afford as monthly payments, considering your current financial obligations? Do you want the lowest monthly payment or to pay off the loan quickly? 

Your answer to these questions will influence your choice of HVAC financing.

Consider the Financing Options

The top options for financing your new heating and cooling system include the following:

Finance with Anchor Heating & Air 

At Anchor Heating & Air, we understand the importance of accessible financing options, which is why we’ve partnered with GoodLeap to offer flexible payment solutions tailored to your needs. 

With GoodLeap, you can benefit from a seamless application process that uses a soft credit check until funding is secured and considers the highest score from all three major credit bureaus for qualification.

Personal Loans

Banks, credit unions, and online lenders all offer different types of personal loans you can use for anything, including buying an HVAC system. These loans have fixed interest rates and repayment terms set between one and seven years.

The wide availability means you can almost always secure a loan, and the fixed rates ensure some predictability with your repayments. However, since these are unsecured loans, the interest rates are generally high.

Home Equity Loan or Line of Credit (HELOC)

This type of loan involves leveraging your home’s value to secure funding for your new system. You can expect lower interest rates compared to personal (unsecured) loans. 

With these loans, you can cover the cost of any HVAC system regardless of the cost. However, the approval process is a lot stricter. 

Using your home as collateral makes this HVAC financing option very risky.

Get Flexible HVAC Financing From Anchor Heating and Air

At Anchor Heating and Air, we offer a flexible HVAC financing plan in conjunction with GoodLeap. The approval process is straightforward, as GoodLeap uses the highest credit score from the three credit rating bureaus to determine if you qualify. They also have flexible payment options.
