Financing Resources for Home Performance Contractors: Getting Ready for the HOME STAR Gold Rush
Wednesday, June 30 – Financing Resources for Home Performance Contractors: Getting Ready for the HOME STAR Gold Rush
When: Wednesday, June 30, 2010, 2 pm Eastern time / 11 am Pacific time
Description:
HOME STAR and other proposed government and utility sponsored rebates and tax credits can offer the potential to reimburse homeowners for substantial portions of the cost of renewable energy and efficiency improvements … sometimes paid well after improvements are installed or when homeowners file their income tax return. In addition, PACE and other innovative financing programs have the potential for homeowners to finance up to 100% of home energy efficiency improvements for up to 20 years. But the financing sometimes comes with constraints that won’t allow contractors to get customer commitment to proceed “at the kitchen table” as is standard industry practice. Hear from industry experts on how these new incentives will create a surge in homeowner interest…. And what options to look into to overcome cash flow and operating capital challenges for contractors looking to grow their business.
Topics and Presenters Include:
Training Grants — Avi Yashchin, Clean Edison;
PACE Funding Opportunities — Cliff Staton and Adam Byrnes, Renewable Funding;
Rebate Optimization with Bridge and Expansion Financing, Bruce Matulich, EGIA
