Why dealers are making the shift

Today’s market requires higher close rates and long-term revenue, not one-time installs.

The market is changing

System costs and project complexity continue to rise. Consumer buying behavior is evolving, with customers expecting more flexibility and transparency. At the same time, expectations around long-term maintenance and service are higher than ever.

Close more jobs

Reduce lost deals caused by upfront cost barriers. Our underwriting is built for today’s consumer, making approvals faster and more aligned with modern buying realities.

Build recurring revenue

Originating partners are assigned 10–12 years of service rights. This creates ongoing maintenance and service revenue while strengthening long-term customer retention.

Comfort Plan turns a one-time transaction into a 10+ year revenue relationship.

“Customers love that maintenance — like the financing and install — is simple and easy. They know we’re in it for the long run.”

"The Palmetto team (through LightReach and the Comfort Plan) are an absolute standout partner. They are professional, collaborative, and genuinely easy to work with and have been from day one. Through the initial design sessions all the way through integrations. In the HVAC world, we've seen premium equipment options dwindle and replacement costs skyrocket, especially with tighter regulations pushing more full-system swaps than ever before. Palmetto's Comfort Plan: a game-changing lease with $0 upfront, predictable monthly payments, top-tier energy-efficient equipment, plus 10year+ maintenance, repairs, and service included. It delivers real affordability, big energy savings (often 30-50%), and hassle-free comfort in one smart package. Sibi is thrilled to facilitate these installations, it's a true win for homeowners and our business.”

“I love Comfort Solutions because it turns home ownership into peace of mind. Twelve-year warranty. Low payments. Zero percent escalator. And if anything ever breaks, I’m not stressing — one call and it’s handled, replaced, done. That’s not just HVAC… that’s security, stability, and smart living.”
