About Self-Help Energy Saver Loans

Location-specific programs

For homeowners in California

Self-Help is a lending partner for California's GoGreen Home Financing Program. GoGreen offers low-interest loans for energy-saving home improvements, along with access to vetted contractors. 

If your utility is SCE, PG&E, SDG&E or SoCalGas, you may qualify for subsidized rates through the GoGreen program. 

For homeowners in Buncombe County, NC

Enjoy subsidized rates and straightforward terms when you participate in the Electrify Asheville-Buncombe County (Electrify ABC) program. Plus, get access to free home energy assessments, a network of vetted contractors, and more. 

Wondering where to start?

Should you add insulation? Weatherize? Upgrade to a heat pump? If you're not sure what to tackle first, a home energy assessment can be useful. Here are some resources:

  • Professional Home Energy Assessments
  • Do-It-Yourself (DIY) Home Energy Assessments
  • Energy Savings Hub from the U.S. Department of Energy
  • Check your local energy utility's website. Many utilities offer free or low-cost home energy assessments.
