Applying is easy, and once you are accepted you will be appointed with a “personal home energy advisor”. Your advisor will perform an on-site home energy assessment and be your contact every step of the way. According to the website, they will help you determine which upgrades will result in the most savings for you, and with their financing options, these savings will help offset the cost of your loan.
This is definitely worth looking into for any of you energy conscious home owners out there! If you do, please let us know, we would love to document your story along the way and share it with our clients!
