Enjoy the many benefits of an efficient home with no out-of-pocket costs.

Eligible Projects

Energy efficiency, renewable energy and water efficiency improvements of all types are eligible for financing.

Envelope & Insulation

Ensure that your home's envelope is sealed tight. Add or replace insulation in the roof, walls and floors to slow the transfer of heat.
HVAC Systems Upgrade your heating and cooling systems. Properly seal cracks and leaks, upgrade air filtration, and insulate your ducting and air flow systems to maximize efficiency.

Renewable Energy

Once your home is efficiency optimized, its time to add some renewables. Solar PV systems, and solar thermal systems can offer enormous returns on investment.

Lighting Systems

Skylights, solar tubes, window filming, lighting retrofits, and occupancy sensors can reduce energy demand. Conversion to natural light saves money and is more pleasant.

Windows & Doors

Replace old doors and windows. Adding double pane windows and efficient doors can stop leaks and help reduce sound.

Water Systems
