If you would like to improve your home, including adding solar, the state is offering a special program to help pay for those improvement. Managing Editor Tami Roleff has more on the HERO program…..
The state has launched a new financing program to help homeowners pay for expensive improvements to their homes. The Home Energy Renovation Opportunity program, or HERO, finances 100 percent of the costs to purchase and install approved energy-efficient, water-efficient, and renewable energy products, such as solar panels, windows, heating and air conditioning systems, and roofing. The costs are placed on the homeowner’s property taxes and repayments are spread out over 5, 10, 15, or 20 years. If the property is sold before the HERO financing is paid in full, the remaining payments can be passed onto a new property owner. For more information, visit www.heroprogram.com.
