EmPower New York offers income-eligible families and individuals FREE cost-effective electric reduction measures. Some homes may also be eligible for FREE heating reduction measures as well. EmPower NY assists families and individuals who fall below 60% of the Area Median Income (AMI).
NYSERDA’s Assisted Home Performance with ENERGY STAR® program helps income-eligible families and individuals by providing additional financial incentives for reducing heating/cooling costs and improving the safety of homes through qualifying energy efficiency measures. Income-eligible households can receive a subsidy (Assisted Subsidy) up to 50% of an approved energy efficiency project. The balance of the project cost is eligible for financing. This program has an eligibility guideline restricted to those under 80% of the AMI.
