Contractor Participation

All work financed with an energy loan must be installed by a participating contractor. The benefits to participating contractors are:

•	Ability to close more sales by offering customers an attractive financing option for their purchase.
•	Payment made directly to the contractor upon completion of work. Payment can be made by direct transfer of funds to contractor's bank account - no two party checks to worry about.
•	Once on the Participating Contractor List, the contractor's name is distributed to potential customers who inquire about a utility's financing program.

The requirements for participation are easy for professionals to meet. Contractors must:

•	Be in business for at least one year.
•	Possess all necessary licenses and permits.
	Carry $1 million in general liability insurance; worker's compensation as required by law.
•	Maintain a “Satisfactory” rating or no rating with the Better Business Bureau.
