HVAC or heating/cooling options as a service?

[Alex Hoang]

Hey BP,

In the middle of a rehab on my first BRRRR.

Duplex is about 3000sqft and has ducts to first and second floors, but not to 3rd, and needs to heating and cooling options for entire duplex. 

Option 1: pay around 20K to install new HVAC/minisplit system.

Option 2:  pay for heating and cooling as a service which is about $350 a month without installation fees for 10 year contract, they do all needed repairs and service a year included, write it off as a service. when I sell pass the cost/contract off to the next buyer. details at: https://www.knochelmann.com/advantage-program/heating-air-conditioning

Has anyone had anyone used something like option 2 and what are your opinions?

Thanks
