| National Grid Low Income Residential Energy Conservation Program is administered by the Association for Energy Affordability in partnership with National Grid. The National Grid Low Income Residential Energy Conservation Program is designed to reduce heating costs for low-income families living in National Grid service territory (Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island & Long Island) by improving the energy efficiency of their homes/buildings. The program is funded annually by National Grid and is available to both Small Homes (1-4 units) and Multifamily Buildings (5 or more units).
The owner of the house/building must live in National Grid service territory and must be a firm gas customer. Additionally, at least fifty percent of the units must meet income guidelines, which are equivalent to the New York State Weatherization guidelines. After approval of the application, AEA will conduct a comprehensive energy audit/analysis of the applicant's home or building, and based on that assessment and the funds available, will install cost-effective measures.
Specific measures that directly address the Heating or DHW Load of the house/building, include but are not limited to the following:
1. Attic or roof space insulation.
2. Wall insulation
3. Crawl space insulation
4. Air sealing
5. Low E Argon filled windows
6. Heating pipe insulation
7. Heating system repair, upgrade or replacement.
8. Small energy-related repairs for heating systems
9. Heating controls
10. Energy management systems
All measures shall meet the Program cost-effectiveness standards.
To the extent feasible AEA will coordinate with New York State Weatherization Agencies & NYSERDA Programs.
