Seeds for the Sol can help you navigate the complex incentives and programs for energy efficiency upgrades, including heating and cooling, insulation, windows, water heating, and solar. Program eligibility is not solely based on income level, but there are increased savings opportunities for lower income households.
We cannot guarantee a no-cost upgrade, and you will be responsible for any remaining cost after incentives are applied. If the remaining cost is a financial barrier, you may be eligible for a zero-interest loan. If you qualify for one of our loans, Seeds for the Sol will pay the installer the upfront cost and provide you with a payback schedule.
Heating and cooling accounts for nearly 30% of a household’s energy consumption, which greatly impacts your utility bills, so this is an important upgrade to consider if you are experiencing significant energy costs.
Program eligibility is not solely based on income level, but there are increased savings opportunities for lower income households.
Insulating your home is one of the most effective ways to keep it comfortable in every season. When your home is well insulated, your heating and cooling systems do not have to work as hard to maintain the temperature of your home which can lower your energy costs. Insulation also provides a barrier for noise reduction.
