How to Pay For It

There are a variety of ways to finance your home energy improvements: cash, credit card, unsecured loans, and secured loans being the most popular. Because many homeowners enjoy lower energy bills after their work, these energy conservation measures can pay for themselves over time - that is, they can provide you with a solid return on your investment (try getting a granite counter top to do that for you!).

Here are some opportunites to help you pay for your home energy improvements:

• Rebates and Incentives
• PowerSaver Loan Program, offered by LEAP and UVA Community Credit Union
• Assisted Home Performance with ENERGY STAR program, offered to households at certain income levels
• Weatherization Assistance Program, offered to low income residents
