Summary: Coordinated Incentive Update – Westchester County
Contact: comforthome@nyserda.ny.gov

NYSERDA is partnered with Consolidated Edison in Westchester county to make energy upgrades more affordable for homeowners. This partnership aims to increase customer demand for energy upgrades driving an increase in business for our participating contractor network. Together, Con Edison’s Residential Weatherization Program (Con Edison RWP) and NYSERDA’s Comfort Home Program will pilot deeper retrofit projects through expanded homeowner incentives.

Recently Con Edison Residential Weatherization Program put out an announcement that their program has increased incentives for their program in all Con Edison territory. This will not change the current incentives offered by NYSERDA in Westchester county. If a home does not meet the Con Edison Eligibility criteria (flow chart below) NYSERDA will continue to pay a $1,000 incentive in addition to standard Comfort Home package incentives.
