The Weatherized Tier, new on 1 September 2026

NYS Clean Heat pays a higher rate when the home is already weatherized: it was built after 2010, it completed a qualifying insulation package (NYSERDA's Comfort Home or the utility's own), or the contractor shows its heating load per square foot is under the program's line. The contractor decides which tier applies, so ask before you sign. From 1 March 2028 weatherization becomes a condition of any Clean Heat incentive.

Insulation goes through Sealed

O&R's weatherization page sends customers to its home upgrades through Sealed, NYSERDA's Comfort Home and EmPower+. It does not publish amounts for the Sealed program, which also qualifies a home for the Weatherized Tier.
