💡 What Is a Lowest Price Guarantee?

A Lowest Price Guarantee is a promise that if you find the same HVAC equipment sold for less by another authorized retailer, The Furnace Outlet will match or beat that price.

Think of it as insurance for your wallet. Instead of second-guessing your purchase or worrying that a competitor will undercut you the next day, you get peace of mind knowing:

  • You’re getting the fairest price in the market

  • You won’t have to cancel or regret your purchase

  • You can shop confidently without hunting for endless deals

For high-ticket items like furnaces, boilers, and AC systems, this guarantee can mean hundreds — sometimes even thousands of dollars — back in your pocket.


🔎 What Qualifies for a Price Match?

Not every advertised deal will qualify. To keep things fair and transparent, there are guidelines in place. Here’s what typically qualifies under the Lowest Price Guarantee:

  1. Same Brand & Model Number

  2. Authorized Retailers Only

    • Price matches apply when the competitor is a legitimate, authorized HVAC dealer. This protects you from counterfeit or gray-market equipment.

    (For reference, the U.S. Department of Energy warns against counterfeit HVAC parts being sold online, which can void warranties and reduce efficiency .)

  3. In-Stock Items

    • The competitor must have the item available for immediate purchase, not “backordered” or “coming soon.”

  4. Comparable Conditions

    • Shipping, taxes, and additional fees are included when comparing total costs.

    • Example: If a competitor advertises a unit for $100 less but charges $150 more for freight delivery, it won’t qualify.


📝 How to Submit a Price Match Claim

Here’s where I’ll make it super simple. Submitting a claim with The Furnace Outlet only takes a few minutes:

Step 1: Gather Your Proof 📸

  • Screenshot or link to the competitor’s product page.

  • Make sure it shows: product name, SKU, price, and availability.

Step 2: Contact The Furnace Outlet 📧

  • Email customer support with your order number (if you’ve already purchased) or the competitor link (if you’re about to buy).

  • You can also reach out via live chat for faster service.

Step 3: Verification 🔍

  • The team will confirm that the item is identical, in stock, and sold by an authorized dealer.

  • This step usually takes less than 24 hours.

Step 4: Adjusted Price 💲

  • Once approved, The Furnace Outlet will either:

    • Match the lower price before checkout, or

    • Refund the difference if you’ve already purchased.

That’s it. No fine print traps. Just straightforward savings.


❌ Common Myths About Lowest Price Guarantees

There are a lot of misconceptions floating around about price matching. Let’s bust a few:

  1. “I’ll lose my warranty if I price match.”

    • False. Your manufacturer’s warranty is unaffected. Goodman, Amana, and other brands explicitly honor warranties on purchases from authorized dealers .

  2. “They’ll only match tiny differences.”

    • False. Whether it’s $20 or $500, the policy applies as long as criteria are met.

  3. “It only works for small items, not whole systems.”

    • False. Furnaces, condensers, packaged units — big or small, they’re covered.

  4. “It’s a hassle, so I won’t bother.”

    • Honestly? It’s not. Customers regularly get refunds within days, and the process is streamlined.


🛠️ Real-World Examples of Savings

  • Case 1: 3-Ton AC Unit
    A customer spotted the same Goodman 3-ton AC for $250 less on a competitor site. After submitting a quick screenshot, they received a refund within 3 days.

  • Case 2: Boiler System
    On a $3,000 boiler purchase, the customer found a $400 cheaper listing from another authorized dealer. The Furnace Outlet refunded the difference, ensuring they got the best deal on a major upgrade.

  • Case 3: Heat Pump Package
    A family purchasing a heat pump + air handler bundle saved $150 through price matching. That’s essentially the cost of their installation permit covered!


🛍️ Savvy’s Pro Tips for Using the Guarantee

  1. Do Your Homework First

  2. Watch Out for Shady Sellers

    • Always confirm that the competitor is an authorized seller. Buying from unauthorized sites can void your warranty .

  3. Leverage Seasonal Timing

    • Competitors often run aggressive promotions around summer and winter. That’s the perfect time to request a price match.

  4. Don’t Forget About Rebates

    • Many states offer rebates on high-efficiency HVAC systems . Price match + rebate = double savings.

  5. Check Total Cost

    • Always compare after shipping, freight, and taxes. Some competitors inflate fees to offset “discounted” prices.


📊 Lowest Price Guarantee vs. Sales & Rebates

Here’s how price matching stacks against other savings methods:

Method Savings Potential Restrictions Best For
Lowest Price Guarantee Ongoing, flexible Must match identical SKU Everyday purchases
Seasonal Sales 10–20% off Limited time Black Friday, summer clearance
Utility Rebates $100–$1,000+ Efficiency requirements High-SEER ACs, ENERGY STAR systems
Tax Credits Up to 30% Must meet federal efficiency criteria New installs & upgrades

Combine them strategically for maximum savings.


🧩 Why This Policy Matters for Homeowners

Buying HVAC isn’t like shopping for shoes — it’s complex, expensive, and full of variables. A Lowest Price Guarantee simplifies that by:

  • Reducing financial stress

  • Building trust with the retailer

  • Making HVAC upgrades accessible

For many families, this is the difference between delaying an upgrade and getting a more efficient system installed today.


🏁 Final Takeaway from Savvy

The Furnace Outlet’s Lowest Price Guarantee isn’t just a marketing tagline — it’s a customer-first policy that ensures you never overpay for comfort.

Here’s what I want you to remember:

  • Always double-check competitor listings before finalizing your purchase.

  • Don’t hesitate to submit a claim — it’s quick and painless.

  • Stack this policy with rebates and tax credits for even bigger savings.

Because in the end, comfort shouldn’t come with regret — and with this guarantee, it never will.
