FINANCIAL SOLUTIONSWhy Consider Financing Your HVAC Project?

Most people don’t plan for an HVAC breakdown or a big system upgrade. Financing lets you get the right solution now—and spread the cost out over time with predictable monthly payments instead of one large hit to your wallet.

1
What types of projects can I finance with OPTIMUS?

OPTIMUS is designed for residential home-improvement projects, especially HVAC. You can typically finance full system replacements, efficiency upgrades, ductwork, and many comfort or indoor-air-quality improvements, subject to lender approval.

2
Will applying with OPTIMUS hurt my credit score?

OPTIMUS uses a soft credit pull to pre-qualify you and match you to an appropriate lending path, which is different from submitting multiple full loan applications. Individual lenders may perform a hard credit check before final approval, but the initial OPTIMUS process is designed to protect your credit as much as possible.

3
How do I apply for OPTIMUS financing through your company?

During your estimate, just let us know you’d like monthly payment options. We’ll send you a secure OPTIMUS application link (or walk you through it on a tablet/phone). You complete a short form, see your available plans, choose the one that fits your budget, and once approved we schedule your installation.

BACKD SMALL BUSINESS FINANCIAL SOLUTIONSCommercial Financing

We are partnered up with Backd Financing to offer solutions to our commercial clients
Backd specializes in working capital solutions for established U.S. businesses, offering options like working capital advances, term loans, and business lines of credit.
Qualified businesses can access capital quickly, with funding often available in as little as 24 hours, which is ideal for time-sensitive HVAC projects or emergency replacements.
Backd offers access to funding from around $25,000 up to the low-millions range, giving room for major equipment replacements, multi-site upgrades, or large retrofit projects.
With a line of credit, you only draw what you need, when you need it, and your available credit replenishes as you repay—great for seasonal cash-flow swings and recurring maintenance work.
Backd funds can typically be used for HVAC system upgrades, refrigeration projects, preventative maintenance programs, payroll, inventory, or other general working-capital needs for your business.
1
What kinds of businesses is Backd financing best for?

Backd is designed for established small and mid-sized businesses—such as restaurants, retail shops, offices, warehouses, and property managers—that need working capital or project funding. Exact eligibility (time in business, revenue, and credit profile) is determined by Backd’s underwriting guidelines.

2
What’s the difference between a Backd line of credit and a term loan?

A business line of credit works like a flexible pool of funds: you draw only what you need (up to your limit) and pay interest on the amount you use; as you repay, your available credit replenishes. A term loan is a lump sum you receive upfront and repay over a set period with fixed payments—better for one-time, larger projects. Backd offers both options so businesses can match the structure to their HVAC and cash-flow needs.

3
How quickly can I get funding through Backd for an HVAC project?

Once your application and documentation are complete and approved, Backd can fund many businesses in as little as 24 hours, depending on the product and your qualifications. That speed makes it a strong option when you need to move forward on critical HVAC or refrigeration work without waiting on traditional bank timelines.

For Homeowners

When your AC or heat pump fails out of nowhere, financing gives you a way to replace it now instead of waiting until you’ve saved thousands of dollars.
Keep your cash in the bank for true emergencies while you pay for your new system over time.
Financing can make a more efficient, quieter, longer-lasting system affordable, instead of settling for the bare minimum.
Bundle ductwork, thermostat upgrades, and indoor air quality products into one project and spread the cost out with monthly payments.
A single, consistent payment is often easier to work into your monthly budget than a large upfront expense.

For Business

Don’t tie up a big chunk of cash in equipment. Keep money available for payroll, inventory, and day-to-day operations while you finance your HVAC work.
If your HVAC or refrigeration goes down, it can hurt revenue and productivity. Financing helps you move quickly on critical repairs or replacements.
With business financing, you can spread the cost over time, which is especially helpful if your revenue is seasonal or project-based.
Need to upgrade multiple units, add refrigeration, or improve comfort across several spaces? Financing can turn a big capital expense into manageable monthly payments.
Business financing can often cover HVAC systems, refrigeration, maintenance programs, and other operating costs—so you’re not forced to choose between comfort and growth.
