Low- and Moderate-Income Homeowners Offered 0% Interest Rate for Energy Upgrades through Smart-E Loan Program

Smart-E Loan Spring Special Offer has a 1.99% rate for all homeowners making energy improvements

Rocky Hill, CT (March 18, 2021) – As part of its Smart-E Loan Spring Special Offer, the Connecticut Green Bank announces 0% loan rates for Connecticut households that are at or below 80% Area Median Income (“AMI”) as defined by the “vulnerable communities” definition underneath Public Act 20-05 passed in the special session last fall. The Smart-E Loan unlocks financing for homeowners seeking to make home performance and energy upgrades, such as adding insulation, improving windows, updating heating, ventilation, and cooling (HVAC) systems with new boilers, furnaces, or heat pumps (air or ground source), installing electric vehicle charging stations, and adding battery storage to solar PV systems. Additionally, homeowners approved for assistance with crumbling foundations can qualify for 0% Smart-E loans. For all other homeowners, the rate will be lowered to 1.99%.

“The Smart-E Loan Spring Special is intended to further stimulate the recovery of the state’s clean energy economy by offering low interest rates to all homeowners for projects that reduce their energy cost burdens. By offering a special zero interest rate for lower income households, we hope to help these families reduce their energy bills, and improve the comfort of their home. With nearly 400 contractors registered in the Smart-E program, many local small businesses will also benefit from this promotion,” said Bryan Garcia, President and CEO of the Connecticut Green Bank.

The Smart-E Loan is made available through a network of nine participating local banks, credit unions, and a community development financial institution (CDFI) across the state.

Smart-E Loans through the Spring Special Offer are available for terms of 5, 7, and 10-years. Insulation, heat pump and window loans require completion of an Energize CT Home Energy Solutions (HES) assessment or proof of having completed an energy assessment within the last three years to qualify for the limited-time, reduced rate.
