Navigating the various NYSERDA programs and NYS grants for home improvements can be overwhelming.

This blog post will guide you through the available NYSERDA programs, focusing on the EmPower+ initiative and other grants for home improvements, and how Patriot Energy Solutions can help you access them.
Understanding NYSERDA Programs
NYSERDA (New York State Energy Research and Development Authority) offers a range of programs designed to help residents improve their home’s energy efficiency. These programs aim to reduce energy costs and promote a healthier, more comfortable living environment.
EmPower+ Program
Launched in 2023, the EmPower+ program combines two former NYSERDA initiatives: the Empower NY program and another energy efficiency program. EmPower+ supports low- and moderate-income residents with no-cost home energy assessments and energy efficiency upgrades. This program is crucial for those looking to reduce their utility bills and improve their home’s energy performance.
- No-Cost Energy Assessments: NYSERDA’s Home Energy Assessment Program sends certified technicians to evaluate your home’s energy efficiency and provide solutions to reduce waste.
- Energy Efficiency Upgrades: Eligible participants can receive free or affordable upgrades, including insulation and energy-efficient appliances.
- Significant Savings: NYC residents can save up to 30% on their utility bills through these improvements.

Additionally, homeowners can receive up to $2,300 annually in tax credits through the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) for insulation projects and replacing windows and doors.
- New York State Energy Star Appliance Rebate Program: This program provides rebates for purchasing energy-efficient appliances, helping residents reduce their energy consumption and costs.
