HVAC Approval Snapshot

Seasonal revenue is normal — here's how underwriters actually evaluate it.

Factor 1 — Critical
3-Month Deposit Average
Strong: $25K+/month avg Acceptable: $10K–$25K Risk: Under $10K avg
Factor 2 — High Impact
Application Timing
Strong: Apply Aug/Sep or Jan/Feb Acceptable: Apply May or Nov Risk: Apply Mar/Apr or Oct
Factor 3 — Medium Impact
NSF Frequency
Strong: 0 NSFs Acceptable: 1–2/month Risk: 3+ NSFs during any month
Factor 4 — Qualifying
Advance Positions
Strong: None Acceptable: 1 position Risk: 2+ open positions

Pro tip: Apply in August/September (right after AC season) or late January (right after heating season) when your last 3 months show peak deposits. This dramatically improves your advance amount and factor rate.

HVAC Cash Flow Calendar

Understanding your revenue cycle is the first step to planning around it.

Peak — AC Season
June · July · August
Highest revenue. Build reserves now. Ideal time to pay down any existing advances.
Peak — Heat Season
December · January · February
Second revenue peak. Stock parts before the season. Apply for next off-season bridge.
Shoulder Season
May · September · November
Revenue declining or ramping. Good time to apply before the dead zone arrives.
Dead Season — Hardest
March · April · October
Lowest revenue. If you don't have a bridge in place, payroll and overhead become critical.

The HVAC funding strategy: Apply in August or January — right after peak — when your last 3 statements are your strongest. Use the advance to fund through the dead season without tapping reserves. Read the full HVAC Cash Flow Guide →
