Financing

It can cost a lot to keep homes cool during hot weather, but there are many programs that can help. Landlords and tenants may qualify for support like rebates, discounts, tax credits, weatherization funds, and help paying for upgrades or new cooling equipment. These programs can cover things such as electrical updates, cooling devices, and lowering energy bills, making it easier and more affordable to keep homes safe and comfortable for everyone.
