Low Income Usage Reduction Program

Help is Available

Did you know there are no-cost energy-efficient solutions for those who meet certain income guidelines? Homeowners, renters and property owners can all benefit from free energy upgrades such as:

• Home energy assessment to identify areas of possible energy improvements
• Tips on how to save energy
• Heating system repair and replacement
• Thermostats
• Attic, wall and pipe insulation
• Water-saving showerheads

Homeowners and Renters

Income-eligible residents can save energy and save money without spending a dime. Plus, if you’re eligible for assistance, you may also be eligible for free weatherization.

Administered for National Fuel by NYSERDA, the Low Income Usage Reduction Program provides energy-efficient measures like:

• Insulation
• Heating system inspections and repairs
• Caulking and air sealing to reduce drafts
• And more!

To be eligible, low-income customers must have high usage, along with other factors that would make weatherization measures cost-effective.

Rental Property Managers

You can benefit from providing your tenants a more comfortable living space and lower energy bills. Energy upgrades on your property will result in:

• An improved property without a substantial (or any) investment from you
• Homes that attract and retain long-term renters, helping keep your units filled and revenue steady
• Lower energy costs that reduce the financial burden on your tenants, making it easier for them to pay their rent on time
• A better relationship with your tenants
• Added incentive for tenants to renew their leases
