The Comfort Plan

A $0-down HVAC lease, powered by Palmetto. One predictable monthly payment — no loan, no interest rate, no money due upfront.

What is the Comfort Plan?

The Comfort Plan is AC Factory's zero-down leasing program, powered by Palmetto — a national company that finances home energy upgrades. It's a lease, not a loan: instead of borrowing money to buy a system, Palmetto owns and maintains the equipment, and you pay one predictable monthly amount to use it in your home. There's nothing due upfront, and checking whether you qualify is a soft credit pull that won't affect your credit score.

How it works

1

Schedule your visit

Book a visit with AC Factory and we'll take a look at your system and your home to figure out what you actually need.

2

Get your quote

We'll design the right system for your home and give you a real, itemized price — no guessing games.

3

Check your eligibility

You can check your eligibility for the Comfort Plan right now — before you even schedule a visit — or apply right from your quote once you have one. Either way it's a soft credit pull only, so it won't affect your credit score.

4

Sign & schedule your install

Once you're approved, review and sign your lease agreement with Palmetto online. From there, we'll get your new system installed on your schedule.

Frequently asked questions

Will checking my eligibility affect my credit score?

No. The initial eligibility check Palmetto runs is a soft credit pull, which does not affect your credit score. A hard credit check only happens later in the process, and only with your consent.

Is anything due upfront?

No. The Comfort Plan is a $0-down plan — there's no down payment or deposit required to get started.

Who installs my system?

AC Factory's own licensed technicians install every system we sell, regardless of how you choose to pay for it. Leasing through the Comfort Plan doesn't change who shows up at your door.

What if I'd rather own the equipment outright?

That's what our other two options are for — compare Affirm and Enhancify, which are traditional loans you own from day one.

Where do I actually apply?

You can check your eligibility right now, before scheduling anything — or apply from your personalized quote once AC Factory has been out to your home. Either way, your final lease terms are confirmed once there's a real price for your system.
