Comfort Home Program

Rebates for Home Insulation & Energy Upgrades

Not eligible for the EmPower+ program? You can still save thousands on energy efficiency upgrades through NYSERDA’s Comfort Home Program. Designed for households above EmPower+ income requirements, Comfort Home helps New Yorkers improve their home’s comfort and reduce utility bills with rebates of up to $3,000.

At REAP, our certified team will guide you through the program, complete the energy assessment, and help you maximize your rebate opportunities.

What Is Comfort Home?

Comfort Home is a NYSERDA program that rewards homeowners for making smart energy upgrades like air sealing and insulation. By reducing drafts and improving your home’s thermal barrier, you’ll enjoy year-round comfort and lower energy costs.

Unlike EmPower+, Comfort Home is designed for households that do not qualify for free upgrades but still want support in covering the cost of improvements.

Why It Matters

Save Money: Rebates up to $3,000 help offset project costs.

Increase Comfort: Fewer drafts, warmer winters, cooler summers.

Energy Efficiency: Reduce wasted energy and lower monthly bills.

Eco-Friendly: Cut your carbon footprint with lasting upgrades.

Peace of Mind: Work with a certified BPI Gold Star Contractor.
