The EmPower+ Program, backed by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), is a no-cost or low-cost home energy upgrade program for eligible New York State residents. This program is designed to reduce your energy bills, improve your indoor air quality, and make your home safer—all while lowering your carbon footprint. If you’re a homeowner or renter with high utility bills, outdated insulation, or an inefficient heating system, EmPower+ could provide the solution you need. Best of all? The upgrades are either completely free or heavily subsidized for income-eligible applicants.
