Speed-to-install

The whole company benefits when sold deals get installed fast. Here’s what drives timing — and how to maximize it on your deals.

The fastest possible path

A deal sold at 4 PM in NYC can be installed next day, if:

It’s in the boroughs (1–2 day permits — see Permits)
The rep is confident in unit count and sizing — no survey needed
Layout was entered accurately in the Newtonian app
Equipment is in stock (Gree typically is — see Brand selection)

Factors that slow it down

Factor	Impact
Yonkers / Westchester location	Permits 2–3 weeks — see Permits
Decommissioning job	Mandatory site survey adds time
Pending solar inspection	May need to wait or pull permits ahead — see Solar interaction
Inaccurate Newtonian layout	Forces a survey or causes change orders on install day
Mitsubishi equipment	Slower warranty registration — see Brand selection
Lease financing	~5 days for install packet approval before funding — see Lease

How to optimize your deals

Prioritize NYC boroughs when prospecting
Sell Gree by default — fastest equipment turnaround
Get the layout right in Newtonian — accurate layout = no survey on simple jobs
Confirm unit count before leaving — don’t second-guess later
Flag decommissioning jobs early — get the survey on the calendar

Survey-skip threshold

If the deal is:

Non-decommissioning, AND
Under 5 units, AND
The rep is confident on sizing and placement, AND
Newtonian layout is accurate

…the survey can be skipped and the install scheduled directly.

See Site survey for the detailed criteria.

What this means for the company

Confident reps + accurate Newtonian layouts = the install team skips the survey trip entirely. That saves an enormous amount of drive time and frees up install slots.

This is why getting good at the Newtonian layout matters.
