Green Mortgages?

Apparently, the Conservation Council of Ontario and Citizens Bank are the first to offer "green mortgages" which include certain benefits for being environmentally conscious. It might have been an interesting option to look into, but it doesn't appear as though they offer it in our area, unfortunately.

• Coupons for energy efficient products and services from local businesses
• A complimentary Green$avers Home Energy Audit ($250 value) which will give you an overall picture of how you are using energy in your home, identify potential problem areas and recommend steps that can be taken to make your home more energy efficient.

Plus, for every Green Mortgage funded, Citizens Bank will make a $100 donation to the Conservation Council of Ontario. Beyond this, the Green Mortgage offers our usual low, no haggle rates, approval process and servicing.
