Discover What Your Home Really Needs, At Low or No Cost
A NYSERDA Residential Energy Assessment shows you exactly how your home uses (and loses) energy. For Central New York homeowners, this is one of the most impactful ways to lower bills, improve comfort, and plan smart upgrades…
and Hummingbird Heating & Cooling guides you through every step.
Why Get an Energy Assessment?
If certain rooms are too cold in winter or too warm in summer, your home may be losing energy in places you can’t see. A NYSERDA assessment helps you understand what’s happening behind the walls, and how to fix it affordably.
It gives you clear answers, not guesswork, so you can make informed, cost-saving decisions.
What You’ll Receive
Your assessment includes:
- A full evaluation of your home’s insulation, air sealing, ventilation, and HVAC systems
- A clear, easy-to-understand report showing where energy is being wasted
- Personalized recommendations to improve comfort and reduce heating and cooling costs
Benefits for Homeowners
- Lower Monthly Bills: Fix energy leaks and reduce the strain on your heating and cooling equipment.
- Comfort That Lasts All Year: No more drafty rooms, hot spots, or temperature swings.
- A Smarter Investment: Energy-efficient upgrades can increase home value and reduce long-term maintenance costs.
- Access to Rebates & Incentives: Many homeowners qualify for state-funded rebates, incentives, or financing. Some upgrades may even be completed at no cost depending on eligibility.
