Elizabethton Electric Department
can help you get a new energy efficient heat pump installed in your
home. We do not install them ourselves, but we will help you to
find the best quality at the right price for you. We work within
the Tennessee Valley Authority's energy right guidelines
to ensure quality installations by reputable contractors.
What do I
do?
First, you contact us (see bottom of page). We will
give or mail you a credit application and the Quality Contractors
Network list.
Then, you get several estimates from contractors
and decide on which one you want to have install the heat pump.
Once your loan is approved, we will notify you
and the heat pump can be installed. A TVA representative will inspect
the installation to assure quality.
That is all there is to it! Heat Pump Loans are simple interest with zero down payment. Effective April 1, 2006 the interest rate is 8%. You can take up to 10 years to pay off the loan, or pay it off early with no penalty. Heat pump loans are limited to a maximum of $10,000.
EED will cut a check to pay off the contractor.
Heat pump loans are billed separately from your light bill, about
the middle of each month. It will be sent to you as a separate bill
from your regular light bill.
For more information: Come by our office at the corner of Hatcher Lane and U.S. 19-E, or ask Ken Markland 423-547-8630 or 423-542-1101 or 423-547-8602 about Heat Pump Loans.
You can get online information at TVA's
energy
right® web site. But remember, if you are planning on getting a heat
pump using our program, you must use a contractor from TVA's approved
list.
