  Borrowers should understand who is actually providing the financing before closing the sale.

• Multiple financing options. Often thimes, lenders offer a few different options to help borrowers spread payments over time. For example:

       - No-interest if paid in within 12 months

       - Reduced interest rate

  Understand the specific ins and outs of the financing option, how thay affect the monthly payment should fit into the borrower's monthly budget.

• No out-of-pocket cash. Most lenders do not require a down payment to finance a new HVAC system.
• Generous credit. Regardless of th financing program, it should come with a generous credit line that accommodates the cost of the new unit/s and installation. A credit line worth only several hundred dollars, for example, won't go far in covering the costs of a new HVAC system.
