The SoCalGas On-Bill Financing (OBF) program offers qualified business customers as well as multi-family residential owners 0% financing from $5,000 to $250,000 for qualifying natural gas equipment loans. All institutional customers (i.e. counties, cities, school districts, etc.) as well as low-income multifamily owners may receive $5,000 to $250,000 per meter, and State of California institutions can borrow up to $1,000,000 for one service account.
Projects must qualify for at least one SoCalGas energy-efficiency program, and is including but not limited to the purchase and installation of boiler economizers, boilers, commercial cooking equipment, pool covers and heaters, pipe & tank insulation, steamers, furnaces, heat recovery systems, natural gas engines, regenerative thermal oxidizers, and wastewater heat recovery systems. For other products that are not listed but have a payback period qualifying for OBF, contact SoCalGas.
The program is open to all non-residential customers, including owners of multi-family units who do not live on premises. Participants must have had an active account for the past two years and good credit standing as determined by the Utility. The funds may be used for a wide variety of efficiency improvement projects, and the monthly loan payments will be added directly to the customer's bill. Monthly energy savings help to offset the monthly loan charges. Review the program web site for additional information.
