Do I have to use a GoGreen Home contractor? What if I do the installation myself?
Carlos Tirado
In order to qualify for a GoGreen Home loan, most energy measures must be installed by an enrolled GoGreen Home contractor. There are some exceptions; you are not required to use a GoGreen Home contractor when:
The energy measure is identified as “Eligible for Self-Install” on the Eligible Energy Measures table. This includes appliances, lighting measures, smart thermostats and several other measures.
The work is for measures that are legally or practically necessary to install an energy measure, such as an electrical panel upgrade.
The work is for additional home improvements not related to energy measures, such as remodeling or landscaping.
Your GoGreen Home loan may include both self-installable measures and measures that require installation by a GoGreen Home contractor. Enrolled GoGreen Home Contractors are listed on the Find a Contractor page.
