As a longtime Efficiency Maine Registered Vendor, Evergreen can guide you through the financing process, making it faster, easier, and stress-free to create a comfortable, energy-efficient home.

The Efficiency Maine Green Bank offers financing at a competitive 7.99% interest rate, accessible to all income levels. Customers can choose between 5- and 10-year loan terms, providing an affordable and predictable financing option for homeowners on a budget.

For low-to-moderate income customers, Efficiency Maine's existing 5.99% financing product will remain available. These customers can combine the 5.99% loan with the Green Bank financing for a total loan amount of up to $25,000, offering additional support for comprehensive energy improvements.

Key Features of the Efficiency Maine Green Bank

  • Competitive Interest Rate: Fixed at 7.99% for all income levels.
  • Flexible Loan Terms: Choose between 5- or 10-year repayment plans with no transaction fees or prepayment penalties.
  • Generous Loan Amount: Borrow up to $25,000, with up to 25% of the loan eligible for non-insulation expenses such as:

    • Removing dangerous knob-and-tube electrical wiring before insulation.
