Alabama HVAC Funding — FAQ

Yes. Birmingham's cooling season begins in May and runs through September. An HVAC contractor can use MCA in April to purchase condensing units, air handlers, refrigerant, and service parts inventory ahead of peak demand — then repay from May–September revenue as it flows in.
