What Is the Premier Program?

The Premier Program® is a Home-Comfort-as-a-Service model that bundles equipment, installation, repairs, and ongoing maintenance into one simple monthly payment. It gives homeowners access to what they really want – consistent, worry-free home comfort.

Selling new HVAC, plumbing, or standby generator systems with no large upfront cost and none of the typical headaches of ownership is going to transform the way you do business.

The traditional ownership model is foundationally unpredictable for both homeowners and contractors. The Premier Program changes that by locking in the revenue streams you’d normally have to chase later, including maintenance, diagnostics, and repairs, ensuring those dollars stay with your business instead of someone else’s.

Every enrollment includes:

New high-efficiency equipment

Professional installation

All service, repairs, and trip charges

Annual maintenance and tune-ups

Filters and UV bulbs (when applicable)

No surprise bills or overtime charges

Transferable service if the home is sold

One predictable monthly payment

Worry-Free Rewards™ for loyalty and future savings

What Contractors Are Saying

“The Premier Program exceeded all of our teams’ expectations. What we thought was going to be another generic training on financing turned out to be a great crash course on sales and so much more. We are thrilled to be a part of the program and looking forward to utilizing all of its benefits and landing more sales!”

How to Use the Premier Program in the Home

Contractors who win more deals don’t always do it by lowering the price, they do it by offering more value.

That’s where the Premier Program shines.

Your team should offer financing on every call and lead with Premier as the first, most valuable option. It’s not just a way to pay. It’s a better experience that helps homeowners say yes without hesitation.

Lead with Home-Comfort-as-a-Service: Deliver More Value

Use the Premier Program to build a comprehensive comfort solution

Position it as full-service care: install, IAQ, ductwork, maintenance, and repairs

Eliminate future cost objections before they happen

Ideal for homeowners looking for clean household air, convenience, and a no-worries approach at a low cost.

What to say:
“Let’s get you everything you need, with no future surprises—for one low monthly payment.”

Use Traditional Financing for Those Who Wish to Perform Their Own Maintenance and Shop Repairs

When homeowners want to perform their own maintenance and deal with repairs as they arise, loans and lease-to-won options help you close customers across the credit spectrum.

Offer low-interest loans or lease-to-own options to reduce out-of-pocket cost

Close the deal without lowering your quote or losing margin

Ideal for highly competitive or price-sensitive situations

What to say:
“We can also offer financing that brings this into your monthly budget, so you can get the system you need today.”

For the Customer: Comfort, Protected. From Day 1 to Year 10.

Contractors FAQs

What exactly is the Premier Program?

The Premier Program is an all-inclusive home comfort solution that allows contractors to offer homeowners a top-tier HVAC, water heating, or generator system with no large upfront cost. The program bundles installation, maintenance, repairs, and consumables into one predictable monthly payment, driving long-term customer relationships and recurring revenue.

How does the Premier Program help grow my business?

It enables you to close more deals by removing the biggest barrier – cost. It also builds predictable, recurring revenue and helps retain customers long after the installation is complete.

How do I get paid for a Premier Program job?

You’re paid shortly after the equipment is installed and verified just like other financing jobs. Comfort Connect handles the billing and customer relationship from there.

Comfort Connect retains ownership, but your business installs, services, and remains the homeowner’s ongoing point of contact—helping build trust and repeat business.
