New to Your Home? You May Still Qualify for NYSERDA’s Energy Programs

Many homeowners come to us wondering if they’re eligible for NYSERDA’s energy programs, especially if they’ve recently moved into their home. It’s a common concern—if you’ve only been in your house for a month or two, you might feel like you don’t have enough usage history on your utility bills to demonstrate your energy consumption or long-term usage to the state.

The Good News: You Can Still Qualify

If you’ve just moved in and don’t have much usage history, don’t worry! We frequently handle situations like this, and there are ways to work around it. NYSERDA provides waivers and forms that allow us to estimate your annual energy usage based on typical consumption patterns, even if you don’t have a long-term history of bills yet. This means that whether you’ve just settled into your new home or have been there for over 20 years, you can still be considered for these programs.
