8. Random Drawing and Odds

One potential winner will be selected randomly from all eligible entries received during the entry period.

Sponsor may conduct a physical drawing using identical slips, with one slip per eligible household, placed together in a container, thoroughly mixed, and drawn without viewing the names.

Each eligible entry will have an equal chance of selection. The odds depend on the total number of eligible entries received.

Selection is subject to verification of eligibility and the home’s compatibility with the published prize and installation scope.

9. Notification and Verification

Sponsor will contact the potential winner using the telephone number and/or email address provided.

The potential winner must respond within five calendar days after the initial notification and cooperate with reasonable scheduling for the free verification inspection.

Before receiving the prize, the potential winner must provide proof of age, homeownership, occupancy, and installation address, as reasonably requested, and complete required acceptance and tax documentation, including Form W-9.

Taxpayer identification information will be collected privately and will not be requested through public comments or social media posts.

If a potential winner cannot be contacted, does not respond on time, declines the prize, provides materially false information, or does not meet the published eligibility or installation requirements, Sponsor may select an alternate through another random drawing.

10. Installation

Installation will be scheduled by mutual agreement after verification and acceptance. Equipment must be ordered by December 8, 2026. Installation must be completed by January 15, 2027.

The winner must provide reasonable access to the property and authorize the installation.

Before confirming the winner, Comfort Experts, LLC will perform a free inspection to determine whether the replacement system can be installed safely, lawfully and according to manufacturer requirements within the published scope.

A home is ineligible if excluded work or service is necessary to complete the installation. Comfort Experts, LLC will explain any disqualifying condition to the potential winner, and an alternate winner may be selected through another random drawing.

The recipient will not receive unexpected installation charges or be required to purchase excluded work, services or a maintenance agreement to receive the prize. Comfort Experts, LLC will not provide or pay for additional work outside the stated scope.

If an excluded condition is discovered after initial verification, it will be explained before work proceeds. The home will be deemed ineligible and an alternate winner may be selected. No additional charges will be imposed on the recipient.

Comfort Experts, LLC will pay applicable taxes on the equipment and installation included in the prize.

The winner is responsible for any federal, Arizona, or other income taxes arising from accepting the prize. Comfort Experts, LLC is not paying or reimbursing the winner’s personal income taxes.

The prize’s actual fair market value will be reported on Form 1099-MISC as required by law. The winner must provide a completed Form W-9 and any other legally required tax documentation before the prize is awarded.

The winner should consult their own tax adviser about how accepting the prize may affect their taxes or eligibility for income-based benefits. The winner may decline the prize before accepting it.
