Energy Efficient Mortgages

As an ENERGY STAR® Partner we are proud to offer Energy Efficient Mortgages (EEMs) that can be used for the purchase of ENERGY STAR qualified homes.

Energy Efficient Mortgages, known as EEMs, recognize that energy efficient homes cost homeowners less to operate each month because they use less energy and have lower utility bills. This savings is passed on to you to help you qualify for a larger mortgage.  These mortgages are available for purchases or refinances of existing owner occupied  properties.

Not sure what to do to the property to make it Energy Efficient? Don't worry - just call City Center and we will help you navigate the process and come up with a plan to make your home as Energy Efficient as possible.

ENERGY STAR®

ENERGY STAR is the government-backed symbol for energy efficiency. It identifies new homes, commercial buildings and more than 40 types of products that are energy efficient and offer the features, quality and personal comfort that today’s consumers expect. Products that can earn the ENERGY STAR include appliances, lighting, home office equipment, consumer electronics, and heating and cooling equipment.

ENERGY STAR Qualified Homes

ENERGY STAR Qualified Homes may look no different than standard homes, but they are significantly more energy efficient. These homes often include effective insulation, high performance windows, tight construction, efficient heating and cooling equipment, programmable thermostats, ENERGY STAR appliances and are independently verified to be ENERGY STAR compliant by a third- party inspector. ENERGY STAR homes can save homeowners hundreds of dollars annually on their energy bills while delivering more comfort and helping protect the environment.
