NYSERDA’s Comfort Home program makes it easy to make smart investments for a more efficient home now and more affordable clean heating options in the future.

It all starts with a no-fee consultation with a trained and qualified contractor who will help you select the improvement package that is right for you, including available rebates and financing. Comfort Home packages may include:

• Sealing air leaks
• Insulation upgrades for ceilings, floors, and walls
• High performance windows

In addition, your Comfort Home contractor will provide you with information about clean heating and cooling heat pump equipment options for your home. If you decide to install a heat pump for heating and cooling, additional rebates are available.

Home Energy Audits

A residential energy audit is a review of a home’s energy performance, including an assessment of both the home’s energy features and the household’s energy consumption patterns. Home energy audits identify how efficiently your home is operating and where your home is wasting energy.

• Income-eligible households can apply to EmPower+
• All other owners* can contact a [PDF]participating contractor  to schedule their no cost energy audit.
