On-bill Financing

A financing strategy in which loan payments for home performance improvements are funded by a third-party and repaid on the utility bill.  The payment may be categorized as a tariff connected to the meter, meaning the loan obligation will be transferred to any future owner(s) should the property be sold before the loan has been paid in full. Also known as "on-bill repayment."
