The Sunnyvale-based nonprofit’s Zero Interest Financing Program removes significant upfront costs for homeowners who want to install energy-efficient heat pump systems and water heaters by offering no-interest loans for up to 100% of the cost of new equipment.
Beyond financial accessibility, the pilot program includes bill monitoring and ongoing support for new equipment to ensure that the energy savings realized offset the loan payments.
This new financing pilot is expected to serve approximately 200 homes initially and target customers with a high-bill savings potential. For more information and to apply, visit https://svcleanenergy.org/financing.
