Energy Efficiency Loans

Unexpected expenses happen. Whether it's the unforeseen breakdown of a heating/cooling system or it's simply time to update, North West REC is ready to help members. Energy-Efficiency Loans are available for qualifying energy-efficiency-related home improvements such as electric heating systems, electric water heaters, or energy efficient windows and doors.
 
Approved, good-credit-risk members may apply, and must provide a complete itemized bill. This bill may include electric heat equipment, wiring, labor, electric water heater, and electric space conditioning equipment for cooling. Insulation expenses, to improve the integrity of the building and the space to be conditioned, may be included in a loan.
