NYSERDA Provides Incentives For Energy-Efficient Homes By Betsy Kraat

NEW YORK--Con Edison residential customers will save energy and money with new financial incentives for energy-efficiency home improvements through the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA's) Home Performance with ENERGY STAR(R) Program.

Customers save on the initial costs of home improvements with special financing as low as 1.99 percent or up to 25 percent cash back. The improvements through Home Performance with ENERGY STAR will allow customers to save for years to come through energy bills that can be reduced up to 40 percent.

The first step toward achieving the array of benefits that accompanies making energy efficiency improvements is to schedule a Comprehensive Home Assessment with a Building Performance Institute (BPI) Accredited Home Performance contractor by calling 1-877-NY-SMART. The contractor will test
the home and identify where energy-efficiency improvements can be made by evaluating heating and cooling equipment, insulation levels, and air leakage. Homeowners will receive a full report detailing recommended improvements, the cost of making those improvements, and available financial incentives. The contractor will also estimate monthly savings on energy bills as well as the length of time each improvement will take to pay for itself.

Using the facts and recommendations of BPI contractors and the detailed evaluations, consumers can choose among the improvements with the greatest financial and environmental impact. When the contractor has completed all the selected measures, the home will be tested again to verify that the
projected energy savings are actually occurring.
