7% Reduced APR
Make your first monthly investment (as little as 2% of the outstanding balance) 30 days after your new system is installed.
Billing each month, beginning 30 days from the installation of your new system. Your choices are:
- Complete your total investment in full at the end of each billing cycle and incur no interest.
- You can make monthly investments for as much or as little as you want, as long as you meet the minimum 2% of the total outstanding balance. Unpaid balances incur interest at an annual rate of 7.0%.
Example of 11.90% Reduced APR:
Initial investment x Monthly interest = Total outstanding balance x Minimum payment = Min. monthly investment
$6,000.00 x (1.01%) = $6.060.00 x (.02%) = $121.20
