Anuj Khanna and Nick Rau on growing with better financing

Our CEO sat down with Nexstar’s Nick Rau to talk through how members use the Comfort Connect platform to approve more homeowners, build longer customer relationships, and add revenue that keeps paying after the install.

“Our mission is simple: help contractors win more business by delivering worry-free comfort to homeowners.”

The Recurring Revenue Play: How Nexstar Members Grow with Home Comfort-as-a-Service
Why Nexstar members partner with us

Built around the numbers you already track

We’ve been Nexstar’s preferred Home Comfort-as-a-Service partner since 2021. In that time we’ve learned the numbers members track: close rate, average ticket, membership retention, customer lifetime value. Comfort Connect moves each of them, and the value stays with the independent business you own.

Close rate & average ticket

Fewer “let us think about it” calls

One soft-pull application checks every path at once and returns an instant decision. No counteroffers or partial approvals below $25k on 1st look and $15k on 2nd look, so the system your advisor recommended is the system that gets approved.

Membership & retention

The customer stays yours

Premier Program® homeowners get maintenance, consumables and covered repairs built into one affordable monthly payment, and every service call comes back to your team. That is a maintenance relationship from day one, with ~95% retention.

Business value

Revenue that compounds every quarter

Each enrolled Premier Program customer pays you a quarterly revenue share. Stack enrollments year over year and you build recurring revenue on top of install margin. Run your numbers in the calculator.

One application. Every homeowner.

From prime credit to no credit, without switching portals

Your advisor submits once. Comfort Connect works every lender partner behind the scenes, and you only ever deal with us.

Questions members ask

Premier Program FAQs

See all FAQs
Who does the homeowner call for service?

You. Anything about equipment, installation or service goes to the installing contractor. Homeowners contact Comfort Connect only about their account or payments.

How fast do I have to respond to a breakdown?

Treat Premier Program customers with the same priority you give your best service agreement members today. The agreement calls for priority scheduling, not 24/7 emergency service.

How do I price the monthly payment?

Enter the retail price into the application once. For the Premier Program, check the rate card to see the monthly payment upfront, either a low payment or a fixed payment. Our training team can help you build it into your sales process.

What if the homeowner sells the house?

The agreement can transfer to the new owner. If the buyer doesn’t want it, the seller pays the buyout amount listed in the agreement at or before closing.

Are there costs beyond the monthly payment?

No. Annual maintenance, replacement filters and UV lights, and covered repairs are included in the all-inclusive monthly payment.
