Great Offer for Homeowners!

Do you own a home in Saint Paul or know someone who does? Through the Sustainable Saint Paul initiative, the City of St. Paul is focused on finding creative ways for residents to conserve energy and save money. Our latest effort is the Energy Smart Homes program which provides no-interest loans to Saint Paul homeowners to replace old furnaces or boilers and install insulation.

Energy Smart Homes Program includes

  • no-interest loans up to $6500
  • available to homeowners of all incomes
  • no monthly payments - loans must be repaid in 30 years or when the home is sold
  • may require homeowners to pay for half of the cost of improvements out of pocket, depending on income
  • available on a first-come, first-served basis until the funds are expended.
Insulation will keep your house cooler in the summer as well as warmer in the winter. Plus some insulation contractors are less busy this time of year, so it is easier to schedule. All Saint Paul residents - including city employees - are welcome to apply.

Check out this website for program description and application.
