What is EMPOWER+ and How can I receive assistance to insulate my home?

A government initiative aimed at promoting energy efficiency and sustainability in New York State. EMPOWER+, formerly known as EMPOWER NY and Assisted Home Performance, under the NYS branch known as NYSERDA, provides residential and commercial property owners access to financial incentives and technical assistance to implement energy-saving measures in their buildings. Even multi-family homes and renters can qualify for this program and may even be further incentivized for multiple families within one building. The program was developed for Low-Moderate Income individuals and households to take advantage of energy savings within their home and some families can qualify for up to 100% of their installation covered. We can pre-screen you for this program and inform you which programs you or your household may qualify for.

Upgrades include: energy-efficient lighting, heating, and insulation, the EMPOWER+ NY Program not only helps participants reduce their energy bills but also contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. With a focus on enhancing both environmental and economic outcomes, this program plays a crucial role in advancing New York's clean energy goals. The dollar amounts are as follows : 50% of the installation up to $5,000 or 100% up to $10,000 with some maneuverability depending on household size, household type, type of work being completed, and other factors. This is why we advise calling us at (845)357-1771 to discuss which incentive amount you may be eligible to receive.
