Affordable Financing for Home Improvements
If you’re looking to make energy-efficient home improvements, you may want to consider the “Energy Loan” from Fannie Mae. This loan was developed to provide homeowners with an unsecured financing option – from $2,500 to $20,000 – for specified energy-efficient home improvements.
Residential Lighting Program
Your home’s lighting can account for as much as 20% of your annual energy costs. To help reduce your energy use, consider installing energy-efficient light bulbs and fixtures. Special discount prices on specific ENERGY STAR®-labeled lighting products are periodically available at participating retailers throughout the year.
