Eficiencia energética

Energía renovable


¿Por qué ahorrar energía?

San Francisco está enfrentando el desafío del cambio climático con políticas, programas y alianzas, que están diseñadas para hacer que sea más fácil y asequible lograr la eficiencia energética y la energía renovable. Al ejecutar medidas que conduzcan a la instalación de equipo eficiente y al uso de energía limpia, San Francisco se convertirá en una ciudad más limpia, saludable y segura.

There are many other financing options to make high value energy improvements that can save money and enhance property values. 

Unsecured financing provided by specialized financial institutions (and often marketed by partner energy contractors) require review and approval based on the personal credit of the borrower and other factors.  Secured financing options, like a home equity line of credit or second mortgages, use the property or other assets as collateral for the lender. Secured financing often leads to lower interest.  It’s important to review all available options and understand the relative benefits and risks before making a financing decision.  

Some available financing options include:  

  • Energy Service Agreements (ESAs): ESAs closely resemble solar power purchase agreements, where a private entity finances, installs, owns, and maintains certain energy installations, and through special agreements with the owner, receives payments set at or below their pre-retrofit utility costs.  This unique structure makes it possible to finance deeper retrofits at minimal liability to the property owner, and may allow for favorable accounting treatment. 
  • Go Green: Discover a range of home loan & financing options for homes and businesses in California at Go Green Financing
