Arizona Energy Audit & Retrofit Financing Cooperative
A licensed energy audit and retrofit brokerage that pairs Arizona homeowners and small businesses with pre-vetted local contractors, bundles retrofit projects to negotiate bulk pricing on materials and labor, and offers in-house financing (or partners with credit unions) at fixed rates locked in before efficiency work begins. Unlike fragmented contractor shopping, this cooperative model captures volume discounts and passes them to members while removing financing friction.

Arizona businesses and homeowners face unpredictable energy costs due to weakened efficiency standardsArizona utility regulators have eliminated energy efficiency standards, leaving commercial and residential customers vulnerable to rising electricity bills without regulatory protections or incentives to reduce consumption. Businesses and homeowners now lack clear pathways to lower their energy expenses through efficiency improvements, and utilities have reduced motivation to help customers conserve. This creates financial uncertainty for budget-conscious property owners and businesses operating on thin margins in a hot climate with high cooling demands.
