If you are interested in a loan but need more information, here are answers to many of the
frequently asked questions:
Loans must be paid off at the time of sale or transfer of
the title. However, there is no prepayment penalty.
1. Fax or mail completed application to address on the
reverse side or go to www.santeecooper.com and submit
online. Then Santee Cooper will notify you, not the
Residential Trade Ally, when your credit application has
been approved. If a heat pump emergency, you may
request 24-hour approval. Application remains active for
90 days.
2. Send one proposal of your choice for the heat pump,
as well as other improvements, along with a manual J8
calculation to the area Santee Cooper Energy Advisor.
You will be notified by phone when the proposal has been
approved. You must have received the approval for your
credit application and the proposal before any work takes
place. If work begins before approval, the loan may be
denied. Santee Cooper will then inform you to contact
your Residential Trade Ally to schedule the work.
3. When work is complete, contact your area Santee
Cooper Energy Advisor who conducted the evaluation, to
schedule the inspection and signing of the loan
documents.
4. A check will be issued to the Residential Trade Ally.
