The private label financing program provides attractive financing programs and special credit promotions that simplify payment options on initial and on-going purchases at nearly 500 Aerus franchised locations US and Canada. Key benefits of the program include no annual fee, 24-hour online account access, promotional financing and low minimum monthly payments. In addition, the credit card can be used for purchases wherever GE Money’s Home Design program is accepted.
“GE Money has the best consumer-financing program we have ever seen,” said Joe Urso, CEO of Aerus. “It is fair, attractive and sensitive to the needs of dealers, retailers and consumers. We believe it will materially increase the opportunity for our dealers and franchisees to deliver our air filtration, water purification and other healthy home products to families across America.”
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, indoor air pollution is one of the top five highest-ranking environmental health problems – making it more likely to get sick from indoor pollutants than from outdoor toxins. Polluted air can irritate allergies and asthma, as well as increase the occurrence of infectious diseases. Aerus’ vacuum cleaners and air purification products can eliminate the harmful allergy and asthma causing contaminants, leaving homes cleaner and healthier.
“A clean, fresh home brings peace of mind,” said Louis Pagliarini, vice president of sales for GE Money - Sales Finance’s Consumer Electronics division. “We’re pleased to work with Aerus and provide a consumer financing program that lets homeowners breathe easier in their homes, as well as when they’re budgeting for their purchases.”
