New Yorkers are benefitting from a federal funding program aimed at making homes more energy-efficient. The state received an initial $158 million from the Inflation Reduction Act to help residents save on insulation and energy-efficient appliances. Eligible low- and moderate-income New Yorkers can receive up to $14,000 for these upgrades. As a result, tens of thousands of energy-saving home improvements have been completed, leading to significant savings on energy bills.
