Your Can Upgrade Your Energy Efficiency For Free
Income-eligible New Yorkers can get no-cost insulation upgrades.
What Is The EmPower+ Program?
Empower+ is a state-wide initiative that provides free energy efficiency upgrades to income-eligible homeowners and renters. The program is funded by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) and is aimed at helping residents reduce their energy bills, improve the comfort of their homes, and decrease their carbon footprint.
Through Empower+, eligible residents in New York can receive free energy assessments and upgrades, such as:
- A home energy assessment to identify possible energy improvements
- Tips on how to save on energy costs
- Installation of high-efficiency lighting
- Attic and wall insulation
- Replacement of old, inefficient refrigerators and freezers
- Water saving shower heads.
These upgrades not only help residents save money on their energy bills, but they also help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve the overall health of the environment.
How Do You Participate In EmPower+?
To participate in the program, residents must meet certain income requirements and be the owner or renter of a 1-4 unit residential building. Eligibility is based on income, and varies based on household size and location.
To get started with Empower+, residents can sign up for a free energy assessment with a participating contractor. During the assessment, the contractor will evaluate the home’s energy usage and identify areas where upgrades can be made. Once the upgrades are complete, residents can enjoy the benefits of a more energy-efficient and comfortable home.
