FAQs
What financing options are available for HVAC unit replacement in Pigeon Forge?
We partner with several national and regional lenders to offer multiple plans, including zero-down payment loans, low-interest fixed-rate loans (as low as 5.99% APR for qualified buyers), and deferred-interest “same-as-cash” promotions ranging from 6 to 18 months. You can choose terms from 12 to 120 months, allowing you to tailor the monthly payment to your budget while still enjoying a high-efficiency heating and cooling system right away.
How do I qualify for flexible financing?
The application is quick and can be completed online or in person. Lenders evaluate standard criteria such as credit score, income, and current debt. Most customers receive an instant decision within minutes. If your credit file is thin or your score is modest, we can often secure approval with a co-applicant or by offering alternative plans that weigh income more heavily than credit history. There is no obligation to proceed once you’re approved, and checking your eligibility will not impact your credit in most cases because a soft inquiry is used initially.
Can I still get financing if I have less-than-perfect credit?
Yes. We work with financing partners that specialize in helping homeowners with credit scores as low as 580. Options may include higher-rate but short-term loans, second-look financing, or secured loans that use the new HVAC equipment as collateral. While the interest rate may be higher than prime, you can often refinance to a lower rate after 12 on-time payments. Our comfort advisors will walk you through all available choices so you can select the plan that makes the most sense for your situation.
How quickly can my new HVAC system be installed after I’m approved?
Because approvals are usually instant, we can schedule installation the same day your paperwork is completed. For most Pigeon Forge homes, we can have the new unit installed and operational within 24–48 hours, subject to equipment availability. Emergency replacements can sometimes be completed the very next morning. Our installation schedule is prioritized for financed customers who have no heating or cooling due to a failed system.
Are there any upfront costs, hidden fees, or prepayment penalties?
There are no application fees, and many of our plans require no down payment. We provide a clear, written disclosure of the loan’s APR, term, and total cost before you sign anything. Origination fees, if any, are rolled into the loan so you don’t pay out-of-pocket. None of our preferred financing partners charge prepayment penalties, so you can pay off the balance early at any time and save on interest.
Will financing my HVAC replacement help me save on utility bills?
Absolutely. New high-efficiency systems can reduce heating and cooling costs by 20–40% compared to equipment that is 10–15 years old. Many customers find that the energy savings offset a significant portion of their monthly loan payment, making financing a smart, budget-neutral choice. In addition, TVA and local utility rebates—as well as federal tax credits up to $2,000 for qualifying heat pumps—can further lower the net cost of ownership.
