Summary: Knob and Tube wiring
Contact: Account Manager

Effective immediately, NYSERDA has made the following changes related to the removal of active/live knob and tube wiring from a home so shell measures can be completed. Participating contractors shall follow the requirements of the local jurisdiction when completing any electrical work in a home, including when the removal of knob and tube is required.

This means that Participating contractors are no longer required to use a licensed electrician to remove active/live knob and tube wiring, unless a licensed electrician is required by the local jurisdiction where work is being performed.

Summary: Pre/Post Installation Report submission reminder
Contact: Please reach out to your account manager

As a reminder for all Assisted Home Performance and EmPower New York projects, EmPCalc v 8.14+ and later generates both pre-installation and post installation measures reports, which outline the proposed and installed energy efficiency measures and energy savings for each project. Prior to the start of work, participating contractors must review the proposed measures being installed with the household and have them sign the pre-installation report. Following the completion of work, the household is required to review and sign the post-EmPower New York & Assisted Home Performance Program installation report. At the time of final project submission, the participating contractor must upload both the signed pre-installation and post installation reports.

Please reach out to your account manager with any questions on these reports or the final project submission process.
