You must become a member of Community 1st Credit Union. HVAC loans from ezHVACLoan are only available to residents of the state of Washington.
No, our loans do not require you to have an appraisal or pay the associated cost.
We’ve designed the process so that you should be able to complete the online or mobile application in about five minutes. Depending on the dollar amount you are requesting and other factors, we may need to request additional items. The quicker you can provide them, the quicker we can keep moving!
You will see a confirmation right away on your screen that we have received your application. Some well-qualified borrowers will receive an instant approval on your screen. Typically, we will respond within a few days to ask for additional information or provide a loan decision.
Yes! There is no pre-payment penalty.
There are no fees, but there are a couple of costs you should be aware of.
We file a UCC-1 on your equipment at the county where you live and the state of Washington. This is essentially a lien on the equipment. The cost varies across the state but is often between $300 – $375. We will pass along that cost by adding it to the project cost in the total loan amount. Therefore, you do not need to pay for it upfront.
We also add $5 to the loan amount to open a membership account for you at the credit union.
No, we will file a UCC and Fixture filing on the HVAC equipment only. This will show up on a property title search, but it is not a deed of trust — our loans are not a second mortgage and are not secured by the home. Our collateral is the HVAC equipment.
