Johnson Controls, a global leader for smart, healthy and sustainable buildings, has launched through its YORK brand a 10-year residential HVAC leasing program: Ultimate Home Comfort. The solution provides homeowners with a new, fully installed YORK high-efficiency HVAC system with no money down, as well as factory-backed 10-year parts and labor coverage, and 10 years of service repairs and annual maintenance — all for one, low monthly payment.

Ultimate Home Comfort delivers stress-free, year-round heating and cooling to homeowners with up to 53% energy savings (compared to older, 10 SEER systems) with a YORK high-efficiency HVAC system, which are part of Johnson Controls OpenBlue connected suite of technologies. For homeowners, the all-in-one program delivers ultimate peace of mind and predictable costs for 10 years. For contractors, this turnkey solution offers the opportunity for them to obtain double-digit profits, a 10-year changeout cycle and up to 55% average gross margin on installs.

"Ultimate Home Comfort by YORK is a one-of-a-kind leasing program that was designed with the simplicity and convenience that homeowners crave and the guaranteed business that contractors work years to achieve," said Tim Brusseau, director of business development, Ducted Systems, Johnson Controls. "It's an easy decision for both homeowners and contractors alike that provides peace of mind for everyone involved."

Unlike a traditional selling structure, greater sales compensation and recurring revenue is made possible through Ultimate Home Comfort's easy, built-in sales process. The all-in-one solution is offered directly from YORK to contractors, not through a third party, and it ensures that customers are retained for at least 10 years. In addition, contractor employee turnover is reduced.

There's no cost to join the program for YORK Certified Comfort Experts or Liberties Plus contractors. To learn more about Ultimate Home Comfort, visit www.york.com/comfort.
