Energy Audit Issues – SOLVED!

One of the biggest problems with an energy audit is that the suggestions rarely get implemented. If it is a financial concern there are ways around the issue. First, incentives exist to help mitigate costs. A simple web search can find websites dedicated to these issues and it is always possible to contact your local municipality or building department to learn more. More importantly though is the fact that many people don’t realize the potential banks have as a resource for energy efficiency solutions.

Go to the bank, mention the upgrades: banks are increasingly offering programs for homeowners looking to make energy efficient upgrades. You can restructure your asset and liabilities the bank sets based on reduced future expenses (liabilities) as a result of the improvements. This means that your personal net worth goes up giving you the ability to borrow more money.

New Resource bank is the country’s first “green” bank and they love helping in green people in green ways. Contact us for more information!
