Florida HVAC Funding:
Fast Capital for Florida AC Contractors
Florida runs the hottest HVAC market in the country — May through September is 5 months of near-constant emergency service calls. The challenge is getting ahead of that season. Refrigerant has to be in stock in April. Replacement units need to be on the shelf before the first heat wave. T.A.G. funds Florida HVAC contractors before and during season — not just after it ends.

Florida HVAC Seasonal Cash Flow Map
Florida's HVAC revenue cycle is the most favorable in the country — but the pre-season capital gap is also the largest. Understanding the cycle helps you time your advance correctly.
March – April
Pre-Season Preparation
Refrigerant prices rise in March. R-410A and R-22 must be stocked before June. Air handlers, condensers, and coils should be ordered now. Revenue is building but not at peak. Apply here for the best advance offer — deposits are rising and you can stock before demand spikes.
May – September
Peak Season — Maximum Revenue
Florida HVAC peak. Emergency service calls at maximum frequency. High deposit volumes. New system installations, emergency repairs, and new construction completions all happening simultaneously. MCA advances here produce highest available amounts — but you want the cash before, not during, this period.
October – November
Post-Season — Apply for Winter Prep
Deposits from peak season arrive. North Florida traffic transitions to heating calls. Apply in October or November — three strong summer months are on file. Use the advance to carry overhead and maintain technician payroll through the January–February lull.
December – February
Slow Period (North Florida) / Consistent (South FL)
North Florida and Panhandle see genuine winter slowdown. South Florida (Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach) runs nearly year-round — January lows of 65°F still drive AC demand. MCA holdback scales with deposits; slower months produce proportionally smaller ACH debits.
What Florida HVAC Contractors Use MCA For
Pre-season and in-season uses — no tax returns or business plans required.
- Refrigerant Pre-Stocking R-410A and R-32 prices peak in summer. Buying refrigerant in March–April — when prices are lower and supply is available — requires capital 60–90 days before the revenue from those refrigerant charges arrives.
- Replacement Unit Inventory Stocking air handlers (2-ton to 5-ton) and condensers before June ensures same-day installation capability during emergency failures. A unit that has to be special-ordered loses the customer to a competitor with a truck stock.
- Service Van Purchase or Repair A grounded service van in June costs a Florida HVAC company $800–$2,000+ per day in lost service calls. Emergency van replacement or repair MCA can fund within 24 hours.
- Technician Hiring and Training Florida HVAC companies that want to add a technician route for peak season need to hire and train in April — before demand arrives. The new tech's first 30–60 days of payroll and training costs hit before they're generating revenue.
- Commercial HVAC AR Bridge Commercial rooftop unit replacements and commercial maintenance contracts in Florida pay on net-30 to net-90 terms. MCA bridges the gap between completing the work and receiving payment.
- Duct Sealing and Diagnostics Equipment Florida's humidity makes duct leakage testing profitable — the energy savings math is compelling to Florida homeowners. Duct blasters, thermal cameras, and blower door kits run $3,000–$15,000 and open new service revenue streams.

Frequently Asked Questions — Florida HVAC Funding
-
Florida HVAC contractors typically qualify for $15,000 to $400,000. Amounts are 75–150% of average monthly bank deposits over 3 months. A company averaging $50,000/month qualifies for approximately $37,000–$75,000. High-volume commercial HVAC companies depositing $100,000+/month commonly see $75,000–$200,000 offers.
-
April or May — right before peak season — is the ideal time. Deposits from spring service calls are rising, and the advance is available to fund summer pre-stocking of refrigerant, equipment, and labor before demand spikes. Alternatively, apply in October or November after 3 strong summer months are on file.
-
Common uses: refrigerant pre-stocking (March–April before price peaks), replacement unit inventory, service van purchase or repair, technician hiring, commercial AR bridge (net-30 to net-90 invoices), diagnostic equipment, and payroll maintenance during January–February slow season in North Florida.
-
South Florida (Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach) runs near-constant AC demand 10–11 months per year. HVAC companies in South Florida often have the most consistent deposit histories of any HVAC market nationally — which translates to better factor rates and higher advance amounts. North Florida has a more defined seasonal pattern closer to the national norm.
-
Yes. Minimum FICO is 500. Deposit volume and consistency are the primary qualification criteria. Tax liens, bank declines, and past bankruptcies are individually reviewed and do not automatically disqualify applicants. A Florida HVAC company with strong peak-season deposits and a 520 FICO will qualify for a meaningful advance.
-
Decision in 2–4 hours of submitting bank statements. Funds deposited in 24–48 hours of contract signing. Applications submitted before noon Eastern are eligible for same-day funding — critical for urgent pre-season stocking or emergency van replacement.
-
Florida Statutes Section 559.9335 requires disclosure for commercial financing over $500,000. T.A.G. provides full voluntary disclosure — factor rate, total repayment, holdback percentage, estimated term — on every offer below that threshold as standard practice. You see the complete cost before signing anything.
