Home Performance With Energy Star Helps New Yorkers Save
ALBANY, N.Y. - New Yorkers who want to keep energy costs down without sacrificing comfort this winter can take advantage of Home Performance with Energy Star®. Sponsored by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), the program can help households save up to 40 percent on energy bills.
Under the program, a Building Performance Institute (BPI) Accredited Home Performance contractor will measure a home's energy efficiency, insulation and air infiltration levels, heating/cooling equipment efficiency, appliances, and lighting. Contractors also test ovens, water heaters, and other equipment to make sure dangerous combustion gases like carbon monoxide are not leaking into the home.
