Does your home need improved energy efficiency?

Since 1989, Rural Consumer Services Corporation (RCSC) has been providing weatherization loans at a 5% annual percentage rate to qualified members to help make energy efficiency improvements to existing homes and buildings to help save on energy costs.

Projects eligible for a Weatherization Loan from RCSC include:

How much money can you borrow for your project?

RCSC loans up to $6,000 for consumer weatherization projects.  Payments are generally spread over five years and can be billed with a BEMC monthly energy bill. You may pay off the loan sooner without penalty. 

Under RCSC's Commercial Loan Program, which includes loans for renewable energy projects, members can borrow up to $10,000.
