4: Incredible Financing
We have Financing available as low as 3.49%
When you take advantage of low interest financing, energy saving improvements could end up costing you nothing out of pocket long term. In many cases, the amount you save on your energy bills each month, on average, could be more than you pay for the monthly financing cost. That means each month, you actually spend less than you do right now – even with the loan payment.
NYSERDA offers two loan options to help New York State residents finance energy efficiency and renewable energy improvements made through NYSERDA’s programs. NYSERDA offers lower interest rates to lower income New Yorkers and those who cannot qualify for traditional financing.

A thorough energy audit can help you:
- Determine how much energy your home uses
