Consumer Energy Loans
If it's energy-efficiency improvements you're after, then you'll want to learn more about Fannie Mae's Consumer Energy Loans. Available through utility companies in several states, these loans can be for up to $15,000 for a term of ten years. Heating and cooling systems, replacement doors and windows, and roofing are some of the energy improvements this loan can help you make.
Disaster Prevention Loans for Florida
If you own property in certain areas of Florida, you may be eligible for a consumer installment loan that provides financing for disaster-prevention home improvements. Structural elevation, elevation of heating and cooling equipment, foundation bolting, chimney bracing, sprinkler system installation, replacement of roofing systems, installation of storm shutters, structural strengthening for wind, and construction of an in-home safe room are some of the home improvements you can finance. Fannie Mae developed this loan in partnership with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). For more information on disaster prevention loans, call 1-800-7-FANNIE (1-800-732-6643).
