Green Jobs, Green New York – 120%-400% Median Income
This great program was recently announced to be making its return in New York State, and we are excited to offer the program to our residents. Any homeowner in New York State making up to 400% of the median income is able to take advantage of this unique program, also offered through NYESERDA. The first step in the Green Jobs, Green New York program is a comprehensive, free energy audit, which will be conducted by one of our certified energy auditors. After having the audit completed, we will present you with a detailed and scientific explanation explaining how much energy the home is wasting, as well as proposed improvements to the home which can save thousands of dollars/year. If you’re worried about how you can possibly finance such a potentially large project, fear not! Green Jobs, Green New York offers a variety of flexible financing options, including low interest loans, and “On Bill Financing”, which allows you to pay back the loan right through your utility bills. On Bill Financing is particularly interesting, because your utility bill will never be higher than it was prior to doing the work. In other words, if your average utility bill was $150/month, and the work that was done lowered the average to $75/month, you can pay back the amount owed by continuing to pay the $150/month bill until the loan is paid off. This prevents homeowners from incurring any sort of a spike in their expenses, while at the same time providing an excellent long-term investment that will pay for itself many times over. And, if doing the measures just isn’t in the cards for you at the time, you can still take advantage of the free energy audit, without any sort of commitment to having the work done.
