COCONUT GROVE, Fla., Sept. 05, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fortifying a home or business to be resilient and energy efficient doesn’t have to cost an excessive amount of money. From renewable energy upgrades to storm protection measures, these enhancements can be financed through the Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) program offered by Ygrene, the national leader in project financing for these types of improvements who is revolutionizing how Floridians protect their largest assets.
With experts calling active hurricane seasons the ‘new normal,’ property owners must protect their investments. PACE financing enables this and helps establish a healthier environment with ease — all at an affordable price. This low-cost, long-term financing is available for a variety of energy efficiency, water conservation, storm protection and seismic improvements.
"Affordable financing for hurricane protection measures like high impact windows and water barriers are critical during this season,” said Mike Lemyre, Senior Vice President at Ygrene. "Ygrene is answering the call for the thousands of residents most vulnerable to severe storms, providing immediate financing to make their properties more resilient.”
Through Ygrene’s recent partnership with the FAIR Foundation and the National Hurricane Survival Initiative to produce the 30-minute TV special, Get Ready, Florida!, Ygrene was able to bring awareness to the 80% of Floridians unfamiliar with the PACE program.
“Ygrene’s PACE financing program is home hardening made easy,” said Jay Neal, CEO of the Florida Association for Insurance Reform. “I urge Floridians to find out what they’re eligible for and make the improvements. Hurricanes stop for no one.”
