If you’ve been considering an energy efficiency project, whether it’s DIY or one that requires a licensed professional, a Weatherization Loan can help with funding. BEMC members can apply for a 5% loan up to $10,000 for residential and commercial projects. Terms can be as long as 60 months, and payments are included with your monthly electric bill – and often the amount of the loan payment is offset by energy savings.
Togetherwesave.com has a list of energy efficiency ideas for you to consider. Eligible projects include new heat pumps with a minimum 15 SEER rating, new electric or solar water heaters, ENERGY STAR replacement windows and doors, insulation of all types, and duct repair or replacement.
How to Apply
If you own your home served by the cooperative, receive a monthly electric bill and have two years of service with a good payment history, the loan process is simple:
- Choose a contractor (must be licensed for heat pump installation)
- Obtain cost estimates
- Complete an application at any BEMC office or at bemc.org
