EmPower+ Application

The EmPower+ Application allows low- to moderate-income residents to apply for energy efficiency incentives. This program is available for both owners and renters of 1-to-4 family homes.

Through EmPower+, eligible households can receive:

1. No-cost home energy assessments
2. Direct install improvements, which are energy efficiency improvements installed at no cost during the home energy assessment.
3. No-cost improvements to make your home more comfortable and energy efficient.

When you apply for the program, you will have the opportunity to select a program contractor or the program can assign one for you. If you are working with a NYSERDA energy advisor, you'll have the opportunity to include that in your application so they can follow the progress of your application and project.

Get Started

Setting up an account and applying online is the fastest way to apply for a no-cost home energy assessment and incentives. Once you set up an account you can save your in-progress application, submit your application and supporting documents for review, and check on your application status.
