Who is eligible for a smart-e loan?

To be eligible for a Smart-E Loan, your home must be:

  • Located in Connecticut
  • Owner-occupied
  • A residential building with 1–4 units (condominiums must be individually metered)

Qualification is based on factors including, but not limited to, credit score and debt-to-income ratio (DTI). All final underwriting decisions are made by the lender. Some improvements may require you to complete a Home Energy Assessment before you are eligible for a Smart-E Loan.

How to get started

Tip: Consider getting a Home Energy Solutions (HES) assessment. Professionals will point out areas that could improve your home’s performance and provide information on any available rebates.
