Here's the exact wording of their ad (for those interested):



Attention - Area Homeowners to Get a Great Opportunity

FRUSTRATED CONTRACTOR IS PRACTICALLY "GIVING AWAY" $4,616 FURNACES FOR $1,289 WITH OFF-SEASON CENTRAL AIR..."

Yes, its absolutely true. You can actually replace your old (and probably very inefficient) furnace and air conditioner as a package for at least $3,500 less than you would have to pay any other time.

Every year, the months of January, February and March 'kill' our business. We end up losing a ton of money during these 'killer' months and it can take us the remaining nine months to make up for them. And we're looking for the same thing to happen this year.

We've decided to give up trying to make a profit during the 'killer' months. If we can only minimize our losses during these months we will come out ahead in the other nine months.

Here's how this (admittedly daring) offer came out:

Every year, the big manufacturers of air conditioners have to guess how many to build to meet the demand. Of course, they're never exactly right. So they always have some inventory they must hold over until the next summer season. We went to one of these companies and contracted for the order of 60 deluxe air conditioners and furnaces in the three most popular sizes used in the area. And, because of the quantity and time of year, we were able to order them at drastically reduced, dirt cheap, and out-of-season prices.

They are new 2005 models. And they are NOT seconds, or 'blems' or standard 'builder' models. They are factory-fresh, deluxe air conditioners and furnaces and have a full factory warranty.

By putting this furnace and air conditioner package together and committing to a do or die purchase agreement of 60 systems, we were able to order both the furnace and the air conditioner for less than anyone should have a right to pay! So, if you buy one of these 60 new, deluxe air conditioners (but only if one of the three sizes will fit your house, of course), we are "giving" you the furnace and all we ask for is the $1,289 in labour it costs to have your system installed.
