Renovate America Closes $200 Million Credit Facility

SAN DIEGO, July 24, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Renovate America, a leading U.S. provider of home-improvement financing, announced today that it has closed a $200 million credit facility with Barclays to support the continued expansion of the HERO Program, the nation's largest form of Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) financing.

The credit facility further bolsters Renovate America's liquidity position with enhanced liquidity and will further diversify the company's funding profile.

Since launching 5 1/2 years ago, HERO financing has been used to make energy and efficiency improvements across more than 100,000 homes in California and Missouri. HERO also just became available in Florida.

HERO empowers homeowners to replace their windows and doors, upgrade their HVAC, go solar, and more, and pay for the improvements over time at a fixed interest rate via an additional, voluntary line item on their property taxes. The products installed must meet federal and state efficiency standards, and many homeowners are able to lower their monthly utility bills as a result.
