Financing

There are numerous methods for homeowners to finance a home performance retrofit project. In addition to your private sources of funds (cash, savings, equity lines of credit, etc.), the Electric and Gas Industry Association (EGIA) has established a financing program in association with the Federal Mortgage Assistance program (Fannie Mae).

Sustainable Spaces can also help facilitate a wide range of programs that will make it easy for you to achieve your goal of an efficient and healthy home.
