GoGreen Home Contractor Information
The GoGreen Home Energy Financing program (GoGreen Home) was designed to facilitate greater deal flow by helping you reach new customers, sign more contracts and increase the overall scope and value of the projects you complete. GoGreen Home was formerly known as the Residential Energy Efficiency Loan program (REEL).
The California Hub for Energy Efficiency Financing (CHEEF) was established by the State of California to create attractive financing options for your customers so that more projects with deeper energy savings can be completed. By participating in GoGreen Home, you can make these financing products available to your customers and share in the benefits, including a statewide marketing, education and outreach campaign promoting the availability of special financing for energy projects – like yours.
