High-efficiency heating and air conditioning systems can help you to save a lot of money over the years. The technology used to manufacture today’s high efficiency systems allows them to cool or heat just as well as any other system without spending so much time or energy to complete the heating and cooling cycle. However, they are more expensive than other options, at first. But if you qualify for HERO financing, high-efficiency heating and cooling becomes an affordable option!
What Is HERO financing?
The HERO (home energy renovation opportunity) program includes a wide range of systems, products, services, and installations, from furnaces to heat pumps to automatic pool covers and artificial turf. This program was designed to allow California homeowners to make choices that are better for the environment, with financing options that make high-efficiency fixtures and appliances much more affordable.
All you have to do is find a contractor who is qualified to install eligible HERO products, and sign up for the program. You may not be eligible if you have too much mortgage-related debt, or if you have made too many late payments on your mortgage or your property taxes. However, there are no credit score requirements.
If you do qualify, however, the HERO program will finance 100% of the cost of purchasing and installing new efficient products. You get a low fixed interest rate and a repayment period of 5, 10, 15, or 20 years. You can even pay this off through your property taxes.
How Can You Save?
If you upgrade to a central air conditioner with a SEER of over 15, you are likely to see your energy bills decrease quite a bit in the summertime, especially if your current system is a decade or two old. In many cases, homeowners find that the monthly payments on their HVAC systems combined with the lower monthly bills is actually a lower overall payment than they were making before.
