Standard Loan

Apply for a low-interest loan with ease. Energy efficiency improvements can help you save money, improve comfort, and conserve resources. Attractive financing through Velocity Credit Union can help cover the costs of your energy improvement investment.

We offer two Standard Loan options:

  • Choose Loan Option 1 with interest rates as low as 0% when you make all of the recommended improvements, plus replace your existing air conditioner with an energy-efficient one.
  • Choose Loan Option 2 with interest rates as low as 1.9% and select the improvements you want from the list of recommended energy efficiency measures.

You can apply for a loan up to $15,000 for 10 years. Low-interest loans are unsecured and do not require a lien on the property.
