Our partners are making a big impact.

We work with government partners to offer the HERO Program, the nation’s most widely used Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) Program.

26,948 local jobs created.*

When homeowners make energy-saving home improvements, they help to create thousands of jobs for contractors who live and work in the local community. 

$4.61 billion in economic impact.*

With the billions of dollars in utility bill savings projected for our current HERO customers, homeowners will have more money to spend in their local communities.

4.96 million tons of CO2 emissions reduced.*

Energy savings projected from the HERO Program have reached 18.5 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh). That’s equivalent to taking almost a million Americans off the grid for a year or planting 212,672 trees.

* Forecasts represent best estimates of growth based on historical HERO Program data, and should be considered approximations due to the nature and uncertainty of long-term, multiple-year projections. Actual results may vary.

INDUSTRY-LEADING CONSUMER SAFEGUARDS

Homeowners get the final say.

We work only with contractors who have agreed not to be paid until the homeowner signs off that the project has been completed to their satisfaction. If the homeowner isn’t satisfied, we’re not satisfied.
INDUSTRY-LEADING CONSUMER SAFEGUARDS

Everyone agrees to the rules.

Every contractor registered with HERO has agreed to follow our guidelines, which includes our industry-leading consumer safeguards that help protect homeowners every step of the way.
INDUSTRY-LEADING CONSUMER SAFEGUARDS

Senior safeguards.

We take extra steps with seniors 65 and over and, at their request, help guide them through the process.
INDUSTRY-LEADING CONSUMER SAFEGUARDS

Qualified products on every job.

Products installed in a HERO project are required to meet local, state, or federal efficiency or performance standards.
INDUSTRY-LEADING CONSUMER SAFEGUARDS

Terms confirmed by phone.

We conduct recorded calls with homeowners to confirm the products being installed, cost and details of the HERO PACE assessment.
INDUSTRY-LEADING CONSUMER SAFEGUARDS

Clear disclosures.

We show all the costs and terms in a simple clear form modeled after the "Know Before You Owe" form homebuyers now see when they purchase a house.
INDUSTRY-LEADING CONSUMER SAFEGUARDS

Ongoing support.

Unlike many other financing options, we help homeowners and contractors resolve disputes, and we are available to answer questions when the home is refinanced or sold.
