Craft3 offers Home Energy Loans to Seattle City Light customers.
As well as other energy-related improvements like rooftop solar, critical repairs+, windows, and efficient heating systems, financing can be used to convert from oil heat to a new clean heating system. The cost to decommission your oil tank may also be included.
The City of Seattle estimates that as many as 18,000 households heat with oil, making up nearly 18 percent of total carbon pollution in the residential sector. Heating oil is the most-expensive heating source in Seattle. To help improve air quality, prevent storage tank leaks, and reduce climate pollution, Seattle has passed a law to help phase -out oil heat by 2028.
