Weather Ready — Now Through NYSERDA Comfort Home

2026 Program Update: Con Edison is closing out its Weather Ready program after its funding was fully committed. The good news for Westchester County homeowners: NYSERDA now offers the Weather Ready incentive through the Comfort Home program — available from August 5 through December 31, 2026.

The Weather Ready incentive helps pay for professional insulation and air sealing — reducing energy loss, lowering utility bills, and improving home comfort year-round. Old or poorly installed insulation can lead to a loss of up to 30% of your home's heating and cooling, and this incentive is added on top of your Comfort Home package rebates.

As a NYSERDA Comfort Home Participating Contractor, Energy Efficiency Experts handles your incentive application, performs the weatherization work, and applies the savings directly to your project — so you see the discount upfront with no paperwork.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about the Weather Ready incentive

What happened to the Con Edison Weather Ready program?

Con Edison is closing out its Weather Ready program in 2026 after its annual funding was fully committed. The incentive lives on for Westchester County: NYSERDA now offers the Weather Ready incentive through the Comfort Home program from August 5 through December 31, 2026 — $2,000 for Con Edison customers and $1,000 for customers of other utilities.

Do I need to be income-eligible for the Weather Ready incentive?

No — like the Comfort Home program it's now part of, the Weather Ready incentive has no income requirements. Any Westchester County homeowner of a 1-to-4 family home participating in Comfort Home is eligible. If you are income-eligible, the EmPower+ program may cover your weatherization at no cost instead — we'll help you compare.

Which areas does the Weather Ready incentive cover?

The NYSERDA-offered Weather Ready incentive is available in Westchester County — $2,000 for Con Edison customers and $1,000 for homes served by other utilities. Outside Westchester, the NYSERDA Comfort Home program still offers its standard weatherization packages statewide.

Can I combine the Weather Ready incentive with other programs?

Yes — it's designed to stack. The Weather Ready incentive is added on top of your Comfort Home package rebate on the same project. You can also pair weatherization with a Clean Heat heat pump installation, and federal IRA tax credits of up to $1,200 for insulation may also apply. One limit: homes that already received a Weather Ready incentive under the previous Con Edison program can't claim it a second time.

How do I receive my incentive — do I have to wait for a check?

No. As a NYSERDA Comfort Home Participating Contractor, we submit the incentive application through the program and apply the savings directly to your project pricing. You see the discounted price upfront — no paperwork, no waiting for reimbursement.

What improvements are covered?

The incentive supports weatherization work performed through Comfort Home: insulation (attic, wall, and other areas) and air sealing (sealing gaps, cracks, and penetrations in the building envelope). It does not cover equipment like heat pumps — those fall under the NYS Clean Heat program or the Sustainable Futures Program for EmPower+ participants.

How long is the incentive available?

The Weather Ready incentive is available through the Comfort Home program from August 5 through December 31, 2026. Program funding windows can close early once funds are committed, so if you've been considering insulation or air sealing, this season is the time to act. Contact us and we'll confirm current availability.
