EmPower+ Application

The EmPower+ Application allows low- to moderate-income residents to apply for energy efficiency incentives. This program is available for both owners and renters of 1-to-4 family homes.

Through EmPower+, eligible households can receive:

  1. No-cost home energy assessments
  2. Direct install improvements, which are energy efficiency improvements installed at no cost during the home energy assessment.
  3. No-cost improvements to make your home more comfortable and energy efficient.

When you apply for the program, you will have the opportunity to select a program contractor or the program can assign one for you. If you are working with a NYSERDA energy advisor, you will be able to select them, and they will be able to follow the progress of your application and project.
