Loan Details

The Loan minimum is $5,000 and the maximum is $40,000 and it’s repayment term is 10 years, interest free. This is an unsecured personal loan which is based on approved credit. The loan amount itself is calculated based on the retrofits that are chosen in the application and the quotes. If you are approved for the loan you can receive a portion up front to assist in paying any deposits for the contractor and the rest of the balance will be delivered after the changes have been verified through a post changes evaluation.

Important Considerations:

You cannot apply for the loan if the work if:

  • The work has already begun or has been completed
  • The changes were not recommended in your pre-change evaluation
  • You decide to do any changes that were not included in your application
  • The changes are not eligible for a grant
  • You or another homeowner has already been given the grant

Steps in Applying

  1. You begin with an evaluation from a service organization who will make recommendations on energy-efficiency and climate change resistance modifications.
  2. After deciding what changes you’d like to make you may then get a quote from a contractor, such as INTOCHARGE. 
  3. Then submit your loan application alongside your quote here
  4. After approval you may begin completing your changes
  5. After the changes are completed you must get a post-retrofit evaluation
