Audit Only Contractors

Program/s: EmPower+
To: EmPower+ Participating Contractors, Energy Hubs
Summary: Audit Only Contractors
Contact with Questions: matthew.houle@nyserda.ny.gov

Beginning on January 1, 2027, EmPower+ will only accept complete, comprehensive work scopes for program consideration.  After this date, standalone home energy assessments will no longer be accepted.

Additional guidance for Participating EmPower+ Contractors:

  • A comprehensive work scope can be accomplished by the participating contractor completing the home energy assessment and installing energy efficiency measurements themselves or by working with a sub-contractor to install the energy efficiency measurements.
  • There should only be one work scope submitted for enrollments. Enrollments should include the home energy assessment and the energy efficiency measurements.
  • A comprehensive work scope should include one of the following, air sealing, attic wall, rim joist insulation or an upgraded HVAC system.

NYSERDA understands that there are a few situations where a contractor will only complete a home energy assessment; however, this should not be large percentage of a contractor’s overall projects.

Please reach out to Matt Houle with questions or concerns.
