Best mortgage rates for energy-efficient homes
Using your home loan to finance energy upgrades is another great option to finance your home energy upgrades. By tapping into your home's equity or refinancing with green loan options, you can spread the cost of your upgrades over 20-30 years, resulting in the lowest possible monthly repayments.
The longer loan term means your monthly repayment for a $30,000 solar and battery system could be as low as $150-200 per month, while your energy bill savings are typically $300-500 per month. This creates immediate positive cashflow from day one.
Even better, upgrading your home may qualify you for discounted mortgage rates, as more and more banks are rewarding customers for making their homes more energy efficient. Green home loans actually reduce your existing mortgage costs while funding your energy upgrades.
Green Homes Australia ensures all installations qualify for these exclusive rates, while 28Watt secures the best possible terms for your situation.
How it works
28Watt will guide you through accessing green home loan discounts that can save you thousands on your mortgage. With rate discounts for energy efficient homes, you'll reduce both your mortgage payments and energy bills simultaneously.
Finding the right green home loan strategy doesn't have to be complicated. 28Watt compares every green home loan on the market to find your perfect match.
