  • Here are some of the most frequently asked questions our AC finance company comes across. If you still have questions about Florida Man AC or our good credit, bad credit or no credit AC financing solutions, be sure to contact us today!

Can I use an AC company that I choose?

Absolutely. If your company is licensed in Florida to do work in your city or county, we will gladly work with them.

Is it a hard credit pull or soft pull?

All but one of our lenders and or lease companies do a “soft pull”. Soft pull means that it does not lower your credit score to apply.

Does a co-signer help?

A co-signer can help in certain situations. It mostly depends on the type of co-signer. They need to have a better credit score and add income to your application. A cosigner can sometimes be helpful.

If I have bad credit, can I still get approved?

We have a 99% success rate in getting people qualified for financing to get a new HVAC system.

Does someone come out to the house to take a look at it?

This is totally up to you, the homeowner. We tailor the process to your needs. Many of our subcontractors prefer to make a site visit. But if you're able to take five to 10 pictures that we provide to the subcontractor, it is possible to avoid the site visit. At the time of the installation, issues sometimes arise that could have been avoided with a site visit. But we leave this choice up to you.

What's the equipment quality?

Our goal is to finance great equipment at a price that you can afford. Our subcontractors have a good, better, best style of approaching the equipment choice. All of our equipment that our subcontractors install is great equipment. The equipment is brand new and comes with a 10 year warranty on parts and a 1 year warranty on labor. We don't work with any subs that install junk, used, slightly used or scratch and dent...EVER!

When can I get it installed?

Our goal is for our subcontractor to install your brand new system the very next day. With COVID and the resulting back up with manufacturing, there have been supply chain issues that have caused delays that are unavoidable in the AC industry. Most of the time installation happens within one to three days.

Is there a down payment?

Sometimes yes, sometimes no, it depends on your credit situation. Our goal is to avoid loan or lease programs that require down payments. We are trying to get you the absolute best deal possible. 90% of the time there is no down payment.

How long does it take to get approved?

20 minutes to an hour. Sometimes a lender will ask for additional documents. Approval time then depends on how long it takes us to send the documents to the lender. For instance, if you are in bankruptcy, a lender might require additional documentation. This can slow the process, but if you're able to provide documents quickly, the process will be fast.

HOW DO I KNOW IF I SHOULD REPAIR OR REPLACE MY SYSTEM?

  • If you do not know the age of your system, the age (year manufactured) is in the serial number of the label attached to the condenser and the air handler. Text us a picture of the label and we will help you figure it out.

  • Generally, AC units that are more than 8-10 years old should be replaced with newer, more efficient models. This general rule dictates that if the age of the AC unit multiplied by the cost to repair it equals more than $5,000, the unit should be replaced. If it equals less, the unit should be repaired.

WHAT DO YOU NEED FROM ME TO GET PRE-APPROVED? HOW EASY IS IT TO GET PRE APPROVED?

  • It depends on the financing that is best for you. We use multiple finance companies because everyone’s situation is unique. We are not a one size fits all AC financing company, and we want everyone to have the ability to get the financing that helps them the most. That is why we tailor our solutions to your unique situation.

  • On our website, there is a “Get Pre-Approved” tab. If you fill out this form, we will have everything we need to understand your financial situation and determine what financing is best for you. If this is a challenge for you, we can also take down your information over the phone.

  • Our goal is to make this experience as easy and stress free as possible.

HOW MUCH WILL MY MONTHLY PAYMENT BE?

  • This depends on the financing available to you. We have customers who pay as little as $50/month for a new system. Typically, this is a person with good credit.

  • The key is that we can get anyone financed with very few exceptions. If you have bad credit, the financing terms might not work for you, but we can give options on what we can do for you.

CAN YOU GET ME APPROVED IF I’VE BEEN TURNED DOWN BY ANOTHER COMPANY?

Yes, absolutely. We get this question a lot. But it does depend on a few factors, like credit score, income, debt to income ratio, recent payment history, etc. We have a 99% success rate at getting our customers approved. Give us a call or fill out the pre-approval form on our website and we will get to work right away.

ARE YOU GOING TO PULL MY CREDIT MULTIPLE TIMES?

We are very careful about pulling credit reports. We follow up your pre-approval form with a phone call to clarify the application and try to determine if there are other avenues of financing that are possible. We do our best to make sure we run your credit once. And some of our financing programs do not require a credit pull at all.

CAN YOU GET FINANCING FOR SOMEONE WITH A CREDIT SCORE OF 550 OR BELOW?

Yes. It could depend on where you live as some of our financing programs are approved county to county or city to city. It also depends on your income and ability to pay. It may require a co-signer, but we have gotten people below 500 approved before.

WHAT KIND OF FINANCING DO I QUALIFY FOR IF MY CREDIT SCORE IS 700 OR HIGHER?

Above 700 credit score is considered fair to good credit. You will have more options in your financing. With a credit score above 700, we will be able to get you approved quickly and easily.

I NEED A NEW AC AND MY CREDIT SCORE IS 600, 640, LESS THAN 700, IN THE 500’S, LESS THAN 500. CAN FLORIDA MAN AC HELP?

  • Florida Man can help. Respect. Empathize. Honor. Help — that is our mission Florida Man AC. No matter what your credit score is, we can most likely get you financed.

I DON'T HAVE CASH TO PAY FOR A NEW AC SYSTEM. CAN FLORIDA MAN AC HELP?

  • Many of our financing programs require no down payment. We have deferment programs as well that allow you to get the new unit now and pay later if you’re in a challenging place financially.

THERE ARE AC INSTALLERS THAT BID VERY LOW ON PROJECTS. THAT COULD BE REALLY GREAT FOR YOU. WE ARE CAUTIOUS AND WANTED TO SHARE SOME THINGS YOU SHOULD ASK IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING A “BARGAIN” AC SYSTEM:

Will the system be properly permitted?

    • At Florida Man AC, all of our systems are permitted by our trusted subcontractors. This way you know it was done legally and done right.

Will a bargain system have a warranty?

    • At Florida Man AC, all of the systems installed by our awesome subcontractors come with a 10 year manufacturer’s warranty on parts and 1 year labor warranty.

    • Also, some bargain installers might not honor the manufacturer’s warranty. We have seen many installers put in a system, then disappear, never to be heard from again if there is a problem. At Florida Man AC, you will never have to deal with a hassle like this.

Will a bargain system be brand new?

    • All of the systems installed by our wonderful subcontractors are brand new. Some companies will pass off a used or slightly used system as new. This can void a manufacturer's warranty

    • If the AC fails because of a factory fault, the warranty covers repairs or replacement. A warranty cannot be transferred with a used air conditioner, however! A “transferable warranty” refers to moving the warranty over to new homeowners, not moving the AC to a new home.

Will it be hard to track down the bargain system installer if something goes wrong?

    • Possibly. And if it does, this is a terrible feeling. If there is an issue with a system installed by one of our subcontractors, we will connect you with assistance right away.

Are the bargain installers professionals who are licensed and insured?

    • Always check to be sure.

    • At Florida Man AC, you will always deal with one of our licensed, insured professional subcontractors.

Are the “bargain installers” skipping steps in their installation?

    • Installing a new system takes time. It cannot be hurried or rushed. If an installer is basing his prices on being able to do more volume, be wary. He has to be faster and that is really tough and can lead to cutting corners or taking short cuts.
