The Premier Program® enables contractors to offer homeowners an affordable way to replace their home comfort systems with high-efficiency equipment with maintenance, consumables, and repair coverage included. In short: you secure a long-term customer and the service relationship; we simplify financing so you close more sales and sell more high-value installs.

One Seamless Application Flow
When you partner with Comfort Connect through Nexstar, you’re getting more than just a great financing option, you’re getting access to a complete, contractor-first Point-of-Sale (POS) platform built to help you close more jobs and serve more customers across the credit spectrum.
Here’s how it works:
Your Comfort Advisor starts every application inside our platform, which triggers an embedded waterfall approval process:
Premier Program – 1st & 2nd Look:
Customers are first evaluated for our flagship Premier Program. If they don’t qualify on the first look, the platform automatically evaluates them with a second-tier approval path within Premier.
Installment Loans – 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Look:
The platform can easily transition to our network of traditional loan providers. Customers are evaluated across multiple lenders and credit tiers, maximizing the chance of approval while maintaining one streamlined experience.
Lease-to-Own (LTO) – Last Look, No Credit Option:
For customers who don’t qualify for the Premier Program or loans, the platform offers a Lease-to-Own fallback, designed to serve customers with thin or no credit profiles, all within the same application session.
Why It Matters
- One Application. No Redos. Your team doesn’t need to restart or re-enter information.
- ~90%+ Approval Coverage. Homeowners get real financing options, no counteroffers or partial approvals.
- ~95% Instant Decisions. Keep momentum of the sales rolling.
- Repair Financing Included. Not every job is a full system, our platform covers both.

They have two options:
- They can transfer the program to the new homeowner if they are willing to take on the subscription.
- If the new homeowner is not interested, they will need to pay for the equipment (buyout amount is published on the agreement) at the time the home closes, or before.
No there are no additional financial requirements. Annual maintenance, replacement filters and UV lights and emergency repairs are all included at no additional cost to your homeowner.
Comfort Connect is only called for questions involving the account or payments. Anything related to the equipment, installation or service is directed to the installing contractor.
