Energy Star Upgrade
New York state residents may now take advantage of a new program called Home Performance with Energy Star, which allows homeowners who are looking to make upgrades to choose from three money- saving options.
To qualify for the program, an assessment needs to be done on your home, says Ken Kalke of Crossfield Heating and Air Conditioning.
"We check a number of things including carbon monoxide levels, insulation levels, air filtration levels and the efficiency of your hot water and heating and air conditioning systems and the efficiency of your major appliances," says Kalke.
A work scope would then be created by the company hired to do the energy audit. Any of the recommended improvements that homeowners choose are eligible for Energy Star incentive options:
Low-interest financing of up to $20,000.
Low-interest financing and a work scope incentive of up to $5,000 for qualified homeowners.
Ten percent cash incentive paid directly to the homeowner of up to $3,000.
Typical upgrades often consist of health and safety repairs, window replacement, heating and air conditioning system replacement and air sealing.
