Home Energy Audit

Our certified auditors perform a comprehensive assessment of your home — checking insulation levels, air leakage, heating and cooling equipment, and more. We use blower door tests and thermal imaging to find problems invisible to the naked eye.

You receive a detailed report with prioritized recommendations and an estimate of potential savings. This audit can also unlock eligibility for NYSERDA programs.

Insulation & Air Sealing

Attic, wall, and basement insulation upgrades — combined with professional air sealing — are the highest-impact improvements for most homes. We stop drafts, reduce heat loss in winter, and keep cool air in during summer.

Often covered at no cost through the EmPower+ program for eligible households.

Heat Pumps & HVAC

Modern air-source heat pumps are up to 3x more efficient than traditional heating systems. They provide both heating and cooling — perfect for New York's four-season climate.

Combined with NYSERDA incentives and utility rebates, the cost to upgrade can be significantly reduced for qualifying households.

LONG-TERM SAVINGS

Solar Consultation

We assess your roof, energy usage, and local utility rates to determine whether solar makes sense for your property. We guide you through system sizing, financing options, and New York's net metering program.

No installation pressure — honest advice so you can make the right decision.

LED Lighting Upgrades

For businesses and commercial properties, lighting is often 30-40% of the electric bill. We design and install LED systems that cut that cost dramatically — with fast payback periods and minimal disruption.

Utility rebates are available for most commercial LED upgrades in New York State.
