Who Should Apply and How
If you receive benefits like SNAP, HEAP, or Section 8, you likely qualify for this no-cost energy upgrade program. Even if you don’t receive assistance, you may still qualify if your household income is below 80% of the area median—around $80,000 for a family of four.
You can complete the application online through the NYSERDA website, or simply email us a filled-out application. Either method gets you started on the path to free home energy upgrades. Need help? We’re here to guide you through the process every step of the way.
