Energy Conservations for Ohioans (ECO-Link) Program – Ohio
The ECO-Link program offers Ohio homeowners reduced rate financing for energy efficiency and renewable energy home upgrades. It covers central air, dehumidifiers, refrigerators, water heaters, window air conditioners, duct sealing, washing machines and more. It provides a 3 percent rate reduction up to $50,000 in savings over a 7-year bank loan.
Another example of energy savings: Vermont conducted a survey that shows how much money a heat pump can save you. (Based on a typical home in Vermont) When you shift 80% of the heating needs away from the current fuel type, to a cold climate heat pump, the savings are significant.
