Does Oakland Heating & Cooling offer financing?

Yes. Oakland Heating & Cooling offers financing to homeowners in Oxford and across Oakland County, Michigan, through Wisetack and our other lending partners on furnaces, air conditioners, ductless systems, water heaters and larger repairs. You can see your payment options before you schedule anything, and checking uses a soft credit check that does not affect your score.

How does HVAC financing work at Oakland Heating & Cooling?

You fill out a short Wisetack form, see your options and pick a plan before any work is scheduled. A lot of people find out what a new system costs and then spend a week doing math at the kitchen table. You do not have to wait for a quote to see what you qualify for.

1

Check your options

Fill out a short form. It takes about a minute and asks for basic information, not a pile of documents.

2

See real numbers

If you are approved you get several choices with different term lengths and monthly payments. Pick the one that fits your budget.

3

We get to work

Once you choose a plan and approve the job, we schedule the install. Funds go to us so you are not fronting anything.

What HVAC work can you finance?

Furnaces, air conditioners, ductless systems, water heaters, ductwork, air quality equipment and large repairs, as long as the job is at least $500. Financing is not only for full system replacements.

Furnace replacement

A new high efficiency furnace, including removal of the old unit, venting and startup.

Air conditioner replacement

New condenser and coil, line set work, and the electrical and pad work that goes with it.

Complete system

Furnace and AC together. Usually the best value per dollar since the labor overlaps.

Ductless systems

Mini split systems for additions, bonus rooms and spaces the main system does not reach.

Water heaters

Tank and tankless. These tend to fail with no warning, which is exactly when financing helps most.

Large repairs

Compressor failures, heat exchanger cracks and other repairs that land well above a normal service call.

Ductwork

Repairs, sealing, added returns and runs to rooms that never get comfortable.

Indoor air quality

Whole home humidifiers, air cleaners and ventilation added at the time of install.

What would my monthly payment be?

At 9.9% APR over 60 months, financing $8,000 costs about $170 a month and $16,000 about $339. Your payment depends on the amount, the term you pick (3 to 120 months) and the rate you qualify for (0% to 35.9% APR). Home service work is covered from $500 up to $65,000. The table below uses 60 months at 9.9% APR, the rate Wisetack uses in its own example, which you can read in the disclosure at the bottom of this page.

These are examples, not offers. Your rate, term and payment depend on the amount requested and your credit. Shorter terms mean higher payments and less interest paid overall. Typical job amounts come from the ranges on our price page. Lender terms checked September 2026. Not sure which row you are in? Get a price on your system first, then check your options.

Will checking hurt my credit?

No. Seeing your Wisetack options runs a soft credit check, which does not affect your score. This is the part a lot of people get wrong, and it is the reason many homeowners never look at their options at all.

What you get

  • Real payment options in about a minute
  • No prepayment penalty if you pay it off early
  • No origination fees and no compounding interest
  • No late fees
  • Several term lengths so you can pick the payment

What it is not

  • Not a commitment. You can walk away after seeing the numbers
  • Not a hard credit pull. Accepting an offer can affect your credit, like any loan
  • Not a credit card. It is a fixed-term loan with a set monthly payment
  • Not a decision we make. The lender decides, not us
  • Not required. Paying without financing is always fine

When financing makes sense, and when it does not

We would rather tell you this straight than talk you into a payment you regret. Financing is a tool. It is right in some situations and wrong in others.

It usually makes sense when

Your system already failed and you are without heat or cooling. When your furnace dies in January, the choice is not really between financing and paying cash. It is between financing and being cold while you save up.

You are choosing between a cheap fix and the right one. A lot of homeowners take the smaller repair because it is what they can pay for today, then spend that money again eighteen months later. Spreading the better option over a term is often cheaper across three years than repairing the same unit twice.

Paying cash would drain your emergency savings. If the only money you have for this is the money set aside for a job loss or a hospital bill, keep it there. Financing the system protects that cushion.

It probably does not make sense when

Your system still works and is just getting older. Age alone is not a reason to replace it. If your furnace keeps the house warm, a technician has checked it and found no safety problems, and the repairs so far have been small, a tune up is a better use of your money than a new system on payments. If that is what we find when we come out, we will say so instead of quoting you a replacement.

You have time and you have been saving for it. If your system is still running but a technician has told you it is near the end of its life, you may have a year or two to plan. In that case, paying cash from money you set aside is usually cheaper. At the example rate used on this page, financing a $12,000 system over 60 months at 9.9% APR is about $254 a month, or roughly $15,260 in total. That is about $3,260 in interest. Unless you qualify for a 0% offer, saving up is worth it when you have the time. The risk is waiting too long. If the furnace is already struggling, one more Michigan winter can mean replacing it in January in a hurry, with less time to compare options.

The payment only fits if nothing else goes wrong. Before you sign, put the monthly number next to your real budget. If it only works in a month with no car repair, no medical bill and no slow week at work, it is too tight. Ask us about a smaller job instead, like repairing the unit you have or choosing a lower priced model.

Worth knowing

The federal 25C tax credit that used to cover part of a high efficiency HVAC install expired for equipment placed in service after December 31, 2025. If you read an older article promising a $2,000 credit on a heat pump, that is why the numbers do not match. Ask us what current utility rebates apply to your specific equipment.

HVAC financing for Oxford, Lake Orion and Clarkston homeowners

We are based at 697 S Lapeer Rd, Suite B, in Oxford and have worked on homes across Oakland County since 2000. Financing works the same whether you live in Oxford, Lake Orion, Clarkston or anywhere else we serve in the county.

Why it matters more in Michigan

A furnace here does not fail on a mild afternoon. It fails on the coldest night of the year, when it is working hardest. That is usually when homeowners in Oakland County first go looking for HVAC financing, usually with a quote they did not plan for. Checking your options ahead of time, before anything breaks, means that night is a phone call instead of a scramble.

Licensed in Michigan

Oakland Heating & Cooling holds Michigan Mechanical Contractor License #7113537 and is insured. Financing is arranged through the lender, but the install is done by our own licensed technicians.

One short form, about a minute, no effect on your credit score. You will know your rate, your term choices and what the monthly payment could look like before you ever schedule a visit.

Common questions about HVAC financing

Can I finance a furnace with bad credit?

Possibly. Offers range from 0% to 35.9% APR based on the amount you request and your credit, so a lower score usually means a higher rate rather than an automatic no. The lender makes the decision, not us, and checking uses a soft credit check, so finding out costs you nothing.

Does checking my financing options affect my credit score?

No. Checking your Wisetack financing options through Oakland Heating & Cooling is a soft credit pull and does not affect your score. Accepting an offer and moving forward with a loan can affect your credit, the same as any other loan.

How much can I finance?

Oakland Heating & Cooling customers can finance home service work from $500 up to $65,000 through Wisetack, with the amount you are approved for based on your credit. A complete furnace and air conditioner replacement fits inside that range with room to spare.

How long does approval take?

The form takes about a minute and you see your options right away. There is no waiting period, no paperwork packet and no trip to a bank.

Can I pay the loan off early?

Yes. There are no prepayment fees and no compounding interest, so paying it off early reduces what you pay in total.

Are there hidden fees?

No. There are no origination fees, no prepaid finance charges, no participation fees and no late fees. Your offer shows the rate, term and monthly payment before you accept anything.

Can I get approved before I have a quote?

Yes. Knowing your comfortable monthly number first means the conversation about equipment is about what fits your home and your budget, instead of a price reveal at the end. If you do not know what the job costs yet, our HVAC price calculator gives you a ballpark in about the same amount of time, and you can use that number on the financing form.

What if I am not approved?

Call us anyway at 248-953-1385. There is almost always a version of the job that solves the immediate problem for less, whether that is a repair that buys you a season or a lower priced model. We would rather get your heat back on than turn you away.

Do you finance repairs, or only new equipment?

Both, as long as the job is at least $500. Large repairs like a failed compressor or a cracked heat exchanger are common reasons homeowners here use financing.
