State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) Home Energy Assessment is the perfect place to start. NYSERDA’s Home Energy Assessment program (commonly referred to as “clean and Green”) provides thorough, professional inspections that identify opportunities for homeowners to improve the energy efficiency of their homes, creating a healthier and more comfortable home while helping out the planet as well.

The Home Energy Assessment itself encompasses multiple aspects of the home. During the assessment, a qualified contractor or service provider inspects the home’s furnace, windows, insulation, air conditioning system, and other areas of the home in order to identify areas where energy efficiency can be improved. The contractor also provides personalized recommendations on how to save energy, water, and money by implementing some of these improvements.

The cost of the Home Energy Assessment is typically offset by the savings achieved as a result. Many energy savings opportunities provide a return on investment within a few years, and many are even eligible for additional incentives from NYSERDA. Homeowners can apply for up to $4,000 dollars in incentives to help cover the cost of installing efficiency improvements
