Your energy planning considerations should include the following:

1. the energy efficiency of your home’s structure;
2. the equipment and appliances used; and
3. the lifestyle habits of the family.

Once you have determined what Energy Efficiency improvements are needed in your home:

• Obtain an estimate from a licensed and insured contractor.*

• Apply for the Home Plus Loan with Go Energy Financial. Please wait for approval of the loan before work begins.

• Once approval for the loan is received, contact Central Georgia EMC with the contractor and bid information. Central Georgia EMC will give you the go-ahead to complete work if the equipment meets Energy Star standards.

• Contact Central Georgia EMC after work is completed.

• Central Georgia EMC inspects the Energy Efficiency Improvement.

• The loan will close electronically up to a week after the inspection.

*Contractor must have a signed Master Contractor Agreement with Central Georgia EMC.  If you choose a contractor not included on the licensed and insured contractor list, the contractor must sign our agreement to participate in the program.
