Free Home Energy Audit Rochester, NY

New York State residents who own a single-family or multifamily home with up to 4-units can participate in the Residential Energy Audit program. Income-eligible homeowners, with household income that is less than or equal to 80% of the area median income, should apply to NYSERDA’s Assisted Home Performance or EmPower NY Programs. 

The auditor will spend approximately one to two hours at your home for the assessment. It provides you with a top-to-bottom look at where your home is wasting energy. 

During the audit we will discover the root cause of common household problems such as drafts, inconsistent temperatures, and poorly performing heating and cooling systems. The audit also includes a review of conditions that could be impacting the health and safety of your home such as the presence of moisture, mold or carbon monoxide. After the assessment, we will provide a list of recommended upgrades. These upgrades could range from simple weather-stripping to replacing your appliances or heating equipment or upgrading to energy-efficient lighting.

Energy audits are intended for those who have authority to make capital upgrades to a home. You can enjoy the benefits of reduced energy bills by encouraging your landlord to apply.

When you make energy efficient improvements to your home, NYSERDA can offer you financing options. Eligible purchases include energy-efficient equipment such as heat pumps, furnaces, or services such as insulation or air sealing. We will review audit recommendations and confirm if you qualify for incentives or financing.
