Common Financing Questions

Same questions come up every week. Here are straight answers on credit score, monthly payments, and the application process.

Frequently Asked Questions

FTL Finance pulls a soft check to pre-qualify. That doesn’t move your credit score. Breeze runs no hard credit check at all. You can check your options on either with no impact.

Breeze is built for that moment. It uses income and payment history instead of credit score, so lower credit scores still qualify. Most homeowners qualify for one of the two paths.

FTL covers loan amounts from $2,500 to $20,000, which fits most repairs and installs. Breeze starts at $9,000 and caps at $18,000, so it works best for full HVAC system replacement, not small fixes. If your project is under $9,000 and FTL cannot approve, the smaller fix may need to be paid out of pocket.

FTL APR ranges from 6.99% to 19.99% based on credit profile and loan term. Higher scores get more competitive interest rates. Breeze is a lease to own, not a loan, so it doesn’t carry an APR. Your fixed monthly payments are set in the lease agreement.

FTL offers fixed terms of 3, 5, 7, or up to seven years and longer at 10 years for lower monthly payments on bigger jobs like a full HVAC system replacement. Breeze runs up to 48 months with early payoff options at 3, 6, and 9 months.

Yes on both. FTL has no prepayment penalty, so you can wipe out the loan whenever you like. Breeze offers early purchase options at 3, 6, and 9 months that significantly reduce your total cost.

Yes. On time payments are reported to the credit bureaus. Steady monthly payments through the lease term can help rebuild credit, which is one of the reasons we partnered with them.

Apply online from your phone or laptop in about two minutes. Most homeowners get a decision in minutes. Once approved, FTL pays Frontline within 1 to 2 business days, so we can schedule the installation and payment plan together.

Yes. Illinois is on the eligible list. Breeze is not available in NJ, DC, WY, HI, MN, or WI. Most of our service area in Chicago and the surrounding suburbs is covered.

FTL has no origination fee, no closing costs, and no prepayment penalty. Breeze has no hidden fees. Read the loan agreement or lease agreement before you sign so you understand minimum monthly payments, late payment policy, and the repayment terms. We’ll walk you through it before the install.
