  An energy mortgage increases a consumer’s buying power by enabling   mortgage lenders to count the monthly energy bill savings that a home’s   energy efficiency features deliver as additional income.  There are two   types of energy-efficient mortgages (EEMs): one for a new home and one   for an existing home. With an EEM, you can purchase or refinance a
  home that is already energy-efficient. Or you can purchase or refinance a   home that will become energy-efficient after energy saving improvements   are made. Most Energy-efficient financing programs offer both types of   EEMs, as well as home improvement loans for making energy efficiency   upgrades to your existing home.

  Both types of energy mortgage programs rely upon a home energy rating   to calculate the savings generated from a home efficiency features. Home   energy ratings involve an inspection of a property’s energy features–its   insulation, windows, condition of heater/domestic hot water heater, for   example--by a specially trained residential energy efficiency professional,   known as a home energy rater.



  Tax credits are available for many types of home improvements including
  adding insulation, replacement windows, and certain high efficiency
  heating and cooling equipment. See chart. The maximum amount of   homeowner credit for all improvements combined is $500 during the two   year period of   the tax credit. This tax credit applies to improvements   made from January 1, 2006 through December 31, 2007.
