Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) - This program enables low-income families to permanently reduce their heating and cooling cost by making their homes more energy efficient.  Weatherization promotes a “whole house approach” concept.Weatherization technologies include a wide range of energy efficiency measures for retrofitting homes.  Service providers choose the best combination of measures for reducing total energy consumption in low-income housing.  This is based on a comprehensive energy audit of the home, which is performed on each home.

Assisted Home Performance with Energy Star (AHPwES) - This program reduces energy costs of low and moderate income households by providing affordable energy efficiency improvements to households that are typically not eligible for the Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP).  For income eligible households, the AHPwES program will cover up to 50% of the costs associated with the energy efficiency improvements.  Low interest financing may be available to help fund the balance of the work.

EmPower New York- This program focuses on electric reduction measures, but also addresses shell and heating system measures that offer the best means to reduce the household energy burden.  These services are delivered by a network of weatherization agencies and private contractors, all of whom are certified by BPI (Building Performance Institute).  In addition to using a “whole-house” approach while installing energy-saving measures, contractors address health and safety issues as the need arises.  Empower New York works closely with the WAP program to coordinate efforts and funding to low-income households.

Energy Services- these services are available to anyone who does meet the above criteria for any of the other programs mentioned above.  There is an established fee for performing a comprehensive audit and write up.  Any of the work which is recommended through the auditing process may be contracted through ACAP and can be performed by either in house crew or by a qualified sub-contractor.  Fee is based on a per job cost.
