Read on to find out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Energy-Efficient Mortgages are used to finance houses that are already energy-efficient (Energy Star-certified) or those that need energy improvements. These loans allow borrowers to qualify for a larger mortgage than they would otherwise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Energy-efficient mortgages can be for purchasing or refinancing and allow approved borrowers to buy energy-efficient homes or pull cash out of their equity to fund energy-efficient repairs or updates to the landscaping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some energy-efficient improvements include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Water efficiency devices<\/li><li>Renewable energy sources (solar panels, wind devices, geothermal)<\/li><li>Storm surge barriers<\/li><li>Earthquake foundation retrofitting<\/li><li>Brush and tree removal in fire zones<\/li><li>Mud and water retaining walls<\/li><li>Air sealing, insulation, windows, doors, etc.<\/li><li>Radon remediation<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Energy-efficient mortgages can be financed for up to 15 percent of the appraised property value. There are a multitude of advantages when it comes to energy-efficient mortgages, including lowering monthly mortgage payments, decreasing utility bills, and offsetting your initial investment through the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Looking for loan options to meet your needs?
