Energsmart is always trying to find a way to make our products less expensive for our customers. One of those ways is through programs offered by the government. At one time these were programs everyone could use, but since 2016 they have largely been transitioned to lower and middle income households. See below for details.

Low Income Program

This is a program for households with lower income that provides FREE insulation to those who qualify. To determine eligibility, your home is assessed for energy efficiency deficiencies at no cost to you. Based on that assessment, a plan is approved by the government to make your home energy efficient, which includes insulation and other items. Qualification for the program depends on a number of factors, but is mostly based on household income. In Erie County, the household income limits are as follows for 2020:

  • 1 Person – $29,928
  • 2 People – $39,144
  • 3 People – $48,360
  • 4 People – $57,564
  • 5 People – $66,780
  • 6 People – $75,984

Each year these amounts change slightly. Other WNY counties have different income level thresholds, but they’re very similar.

Low/Mid Income Program

This is a program that provides energy efficiency improvements at a reduced rate, typically 50% off. It works the same way as the low-income program above in that it involves a free assessment and government approved plan. The portion of the project that the home-owner is responsible for paying could possibly be financed by government loan programs that are usually better than market rate loans. Eligibility for this program is also largely determined by household income. In Erie County Household income limits are as follows for 2020:

  • 1 Person – $ 43,050
  • 2 People – $ 52,192
  • 3 People – $ 64,480
  • 4 People – $ 76,752
  • 5 People – $ 89,040
  • 6 People – $101,312

Other counties will be slightly different.
