PACE Financing
See What You Can Do in Your Home!
If you’re reluctant to invest in home efficiency services and improvements, there’s an easy way to finance those upgrades through the PACE Financing Program.
What Is PACE?
PACE stands for Property Assessed Clean Energy, which is a public-private collaboration between local government and homeowners to fund clean energy and make efficiency upgrades more affordable.
How does it work? We’re glad you asked!
- PACE financing is provided by private companies that include CaliforniaFIRST, Ygrene and HERO in the San Francisco Bay area.
- Upgrades can include windows, doors, heating and cooling, solar and other improvements to make your home more efficient and comfortable.
- This energy financing is 100%, using up to 15% of your home’s value, with no out-of-pocket costs and no credit scores needed.
- PACE financing offers typically low-interest loan rates with locked-in interest rate. Payments can be amortized over as much as 30 years, and are paid as a line item on your property tax bill.
- Because this energy financing is guaranteed by property, the financing can be transferred to the next owner.
