Solar panels
Panels sized from a year of your bills and installed by a licensed solar partner, with the permits and the SCE or LADWP interconnection.
Financing
Pay for energy upgrades over time
Plenty of homeowners pay for solar, batteries, heat pumps, windows and insulation with a loan from a third-party lender instead of all at once. Here is how that works with us, in plain terms.
Financing disclosure. Financing is offered through third-party lenders and is subject to credit approval. Rates, terms and eligibility vary. Woodmaster Kitchen & Bath Inc. is not a lender.
How it works
How financing works, step by step
It starts the same way as any job: a home visit and a written price. Financing comes after you know what the work costs.
Home visit
We walk the house with you and look at the roof, panel, attic and windows. Have a year of SCE or LADWP bills handy if you can.
Written price
You get a written proposal with the full project price, item by item. You know the total before you apply for anything.
Apply with a lender
If you want to finance, you apply with a third-party lender. The lender reviews your credit and decides on approval, the rate and the term.
Sign and schedule
Read the loan offer and our contract, and sign when you are ready. Then the permits go in and the work gets scheduled.
What people finance
Upgrades homeowners ask to finance
Ask about financing for any of these. Which projects a loan can cover is up to the lender and its program.
Battery storage
Stores daytime solar power for the evening and can back up key circuits in an outage.
Heat pumps
Heat pump heating and cooling for the whole house, and heat pump water heaters that replace the gas tank. Installed by licensed partners.
Windows and sliding doors
Dual-pane, low-E windows, sliding doors and skylights that keep afternoon heat outside.
Insulation and air sealing
Attic, wall and crawlspace insulation, plus sealed gaps around pipes, wiring and can lights.
Cool roofs and re-roofing
Reflective roofing that stays cooler in the sun, laid out so solar panels can go on now or later.

Honest notes
Read this before you sign anything
A loan is a contract between you and the lender, separate from your contract with us. Keep these four things in mind.
Credit approval is required
The lender decides whether to approve your application. We don't make that decision, and we can't promise an approval.
Rates and terms vary
Your rate, term and monthly payment depend on the lender, the program and your credit. Ask for the APR and the total you will repay.
Compare offers
Get more than one offer before you choose. Your own bank or credit union is worth asking too.
Read the contract
Read the loan agreement in full, including the fees and what happens if you pay it off early. Ask questions until every line makes sense.
Utility rebates
Rebates and incentives change often. We check what your utility offers before we quote.
