Energy loans are available statewide. Take the completed forms to a participating lender — a Nebraska bank, savings institution or credit union of your choice. Most financial institutions in Nebraska offer Dollar and Energy Saving Loans. If your present financial institution does not, contact the Nebraska Energy Office for names of participating lenders in your area. You must provide the information required by the lender to complete your loan application and determine that you meet the institution’s credit requirements. Lenders are encouraged to make these loans for the maximum term. If your lender does not, or if you are not satisfied with fees or other details of the loan, you may want to contact another participating lender.
The lender will approve your loan application subject to the Energy Office’s commitment of funds. After the Energy Office reviews your project and reserves funds for your loan, your lender will notify you to proceed with your project. Do not begin any part of the project until your lender notifies you of the Energy Office’s commitment.
Your lender will notify you when to proceed with the work. All qualifying work should be completed within five months after the Energy Office’s commitment of funds. When completed, notify the lender to finalize any remaining details.
Start repaying your loan while you enjoy the lower energy bills and operating costs provided by the improvements you have made.
