Through the end of the year, NYSERDA is offering increased incentives for income-eligible households to insulate homes, seal air leaks, and replace inefficient equipment:
> Up to $10,000 for households with gross incomes under 60% of the state median income ($57,564 for a household of 4)
> Up to $5,000 in a matching grant for households under 120% of the county’s median income ($115,128 for a household of 4)
There are also generous rebates and grants for installing high-efficiency heat pumps that provide heating and cooling, and which can replace furnaces and boilers that burn fossil fuels, as well as affordable options for going solar.
