Building Envelope Solutions
Call (347) 200-5089 and we’ll tell you which program fits your building today, and whether to apply now or wait for 2027.
What is changing
In August 2026, the New York Public Service Commission approved new regional weatherization programs. Downstate, Con Edison and National Grid are launching one joint program, the Regional Residential Weatherization Program (RRWP), in place of separate utility programs. The start date is planned for January 1, 2027.
It covers New York City, Westchester and Long Island. Owners who today juggle a Con Edison program and a National Grid program should see one offer, one application and one set of rules.
Who it is for
- 1 to 4 family homes: brownstones, row houses, frame houses and two-family homes.
- Buildings with 5 or more apartments: walk-ups, co-ops, condos and rental buildings.
- Market-rate customers: the program is for buildings that don’t qualify for income-based help. Income-qualified homes go through NYSERDA EmPower+, and affordable apartment buildings through AMEEP.
- Utility customers: Con Edison electric or gas, or National Grid gas in Brooklyn, Staten Island, parts of Queens and Long Island.
What it covers
The utilities’ plan centers on the building envelope, which is what we do:
- Air sealing of the whole home.
- Attic and roof insulation, including the ceiling under a flat roof.
- Rim joist insulation where the floor frame meets the foundation.
- Wall insulation and other insulation, such as the basement or crawl space.
Homes get a blower door test before and after the work, so the savings are measured, not guessed. For apartment buildings, the focus is roof and wall insulation.
What it pays
Con Edison and National Grid haven’t published the 2027 incentive amounts yet. They will appear in the program manuals once the program launches. We will update this page when they do, and we never quote a rebate before it is confirmed for your address.
If you are planning work now
- Apartment buildings on National Grid gas: National Grid’s current multifamily weatherization program is closing as the 2027 program starts. We check which one fits your project’s timing.
- 1 to 4 family homes: National Grid Total Home Comfort and Con Edison Weather Ready are paused. Until the new program opens, homes usually go through NYSERDA programs. See the NYC rebate guide.
- Don’t start early: programs require approval before installation. Work started before approval can lose the incentive.
How we help
We check your address, utility and building type, then tell you which program is open and what it is likely to cover. We scope the work, file the paperwork and install to the program’s rules. Call (347) 200-5089 or send us a message.

Does it replace the current utility programs? For market-rate weatherization, yes. Con Edison and National Grid will run one joint program instead of separate ones.

How much does it pay? The 2027 amounts are not published yet. Call (347) 200-5089 and we’ll check what applies to your building.
Should I wait for 2027? It depends on your building. Some projects do better under a current program before it closes. Call us and we’ll compare both for your address.
