Is Your Home Ready for Weather Ready Upgrades?

Did You Know?

Old or improperly installed insulation can lead to a loss of up to 30% of your home’s heating or air conditioning. That’s money out the window — literally!

Here are signs that your home might be ready for upgrades:

• Warm air escaping from windows, door frames, or leaky attics

• Uneven temperatures, drafts, or cold spots throughout your home

• Energy bills that are higher than usual

• Attic insulation that is not higher than the floor joists

• Musty smells coming from the basement or attic

• Ice dams on the roof during winter

Good News

With proper insulation and air and duct sealing, you can improve your home’s efficiency and comfort — saving energy and money all year round.
No more drafty rooms in the winter or sweating indoors in the summer!

How It Works

1. Choose a contractor from our list, or invite your preferred contractor to register.

2. The contractor visits your home and recommends energy-saving upgrades such as:

   • Attic, wall, or crawlspace insulation

   • Air and duct sealing

3. You receive an estimate with Con Edison’s incentive applied upfront — no need to wait for rebates!

4. The contractor performs the work and deducts the incentive amount directly from your final invoice.
