"Improving the energy efficiency of your home is a smart investment. NYSERDA offers a range of residential programs designed to help New York State residents identify areas where their homes are driving up energy costs and provide assistance in completing energy efficiency improvements for a healthier, more comfortable home.

It starts with a home energy assessment, conducted by trained and experienced Home Performance contractors, which gives you a top-to bottom look at where your home is wasting energy. You receive a detailed list of recommended improvements that can include everything from added insulation and energy efficient lighting to a high-efficiency heating system and ENERGY STAR® certified appliances."
