Funding Available for Insulation and Weatherization Upgrades In Your Renovation Project
There’s something you need to know: you can save a lot on your home renovation project. With incentives from NY State, plus federal tax credits, you can get money back when you weatherize your home, in other words, when you make it more energy efficient. Making weatherization upgrades, such as insulation and air sealing, is a form of investment that can be easily incorporated into your existing home improvement plan.
NYSERDA’s Comfort Home program makes it easy to make smart investments for a more efficient home now and more affordable heating options in the future. As part of this pilot program, seal and insulate packages are available at reduced cost in these markets across New York State. These packages are offered by trained and qualified Comfort Home contractors who can help you solve common problems like drafty areas in your home, rooms that are difficult to keep cool in summer, and reduce the occurrence of ice dams in winter. Incentives from $1,600 to $4,000 may be available for installation of seal and insulate packages. Additionally, you can get up to $2,300 annually in tax credits through the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) for insulation projects and replacing windows and doors.
Additional incentives from your electric utility may be available when you install a heat pump 
, the healthier, cleaner way to heat and cool your home. And, when you install a heat pump within 24 months of completing your air sealing and insulation project, bonus incentives may be available from your contractor.
How it Works
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.
