The equipment need

The company needed to air-condition its premises to maintain acceptable working conditions during heat waves. The project included both the equipment and substantial installation work.

This kind of comfort spending often takes a back seat to operating priorities, and management refused to use cash or draw on a bank overdraft for it.

  • Outdoor condensing units and indoor units
  • Reversible heat pumps
  • Refrigerant piping and ductwork
  • Installation and commissioning

The support described in the project

Leaseworld arranged a lease covering the entire project, equipment and installation included, for under $57,300. The term was set at 36 to 48 months to reach a monthly payment that fit the operating budget.

The outdoor units, indoor units and refrigerant piping were financed under a single contract, and the installer was paid directly after commissioning, with no advance from the company.

The reported operational outcome

The premises were air-conditioned before summer with no upfront outlay, and the installation cost became a predictable monthly expense. The company's cash and bank lines remained intact, and staff comfort improved without trade-offs against the operating budget.
