Unlock Big Savings: Current Incentives for NYSERDA's EmPower+ Program and the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA)
At Green Home Logic, we’re committed to helping homeowners throughout New York take advantage of the latest programs designed to improve energy efficiency and save money. We have helped thousands of customers throughout Nassau County, Long Island and the five boroughs of New York City to take advantage of these incredible incentives. Right now, two of the biggest opportunities for energy savings come from NYSERDA’s EmPower+ Program and the federal Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).
What is NYSERDA’s EmPower+ Program?
NYSERDA’s EmPower+ program is designed to help income-eligible New Yorkers make energy-saving upgrades to their homes at little to no cost. If you qualify, you can access:
Free energy audits to assess where your home could be more energy efficient
Free or low-cost insulation, air sealing, and other energy efficiency upgrades
Financial support for heating system improvements, such as replacing outdated furnaces or boilers with more efficient models
No-cost, energy efficient retrofits capped at $10,000 per project for Low-income, single-family households
No-cost, energy efficiency improvements capped at $5,000 per project for moderate-income single-family households
Funding covers a range of upgrades including the replacement of inefficient refrigerator or freezer units
This program is available to homeowners in New York City and Long Island who qualify based on annual household income. These upgrades not only make your home more comfortable year-round but can significantly reduce your energy bills. To see if you qualify for the EmPower+ program, please get in contact with us to determine your eligibility and start the application process.
How the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) Enhances Savings
The IRA offers a variety of incentives for homeowners looking to make energy-efficient upgrades. This federal program provides generous rebates and tax credits for a range of projects, including:
Up to $4,000 in tax credits for air sealing, attic or wall insulation and other energy-efficient home retrofits
Rebates on heat pumps, HVAC systems, and water heaters
These incentives are designed to make energy-efficient upgrades more affordable for everyone, allowing homeowners to lower their environmental impact while saving on utility bills.
Combining Programs for Maximum Impact
By taking advantage of both NYSERDA’s EmPower+ program and the IRA incentives, homeowners can maximize their savings. EmPower+ can help cover immediate upgrades like insulation and air sealing, while the IRA can provide long-term savings through tax credits and rebates for larger projects like installing energy-efficient heating and cooling systems.
Why Act Now?
With winter around the corner, now is the perfect time to take action. The sooner you make these upgrades, the sooner you can start enjoying a more comfortable home and lower energy bills. Plus, with both NYSERDA and the IRA offering generous financial incentives, the cost of these improvements has never been more affordable.
