WHAT IS HERO PROGRAM?

HOW HERO PROGRAM WORKS
A homeowner in a participating community can apply for HERO Financing through a contractor or online on their local HERO Program website. Once approved, the homeowner works with their contractor to select eligible energy and water efficient products or renewable energy systems to install. The homeowner would sign Financing Documents and the contractor would start work. When work is completed, the homeowner and contractor would request HERO Financing funding. The contractor is paid through the local HERO Program. The homeowner pays back the loan through their property tax bill. This is a $0 down financing program.
