Energy Efficiency Incentives: This Is Ed Nice’s Biggest Suggestion for Buffalo Homeowners

While most people know me from being on the radio and being a good DJ, I also have a very long career in real estate.

Owning and developing property in neighborhoods is something that I have a passion for, and all of my projects have energy-efficiency utilities like heat pumps and on-demand hot water tanks.

My house is about 100 years old, and one of the first things I did after buying it was to get an energy audit. It really helped me understand what I needed to take care of. After the energy audit, I had the information I needed to address any issues.

Now, my friends at Buffalo Energy can help qualifying homeowners get a free energy audit and help them learn if they are eligible for energy efficiency upgrades through the EmPower+, NYS Clean Heat, and similar programs.

If you receive HEAP, SNAP, TANF, or SSI benefits, you automatically qualify for the most incentives. Households with higher incomes may qualify for incentives based on their tax return or one month of paystubs for all household members.

Buffalo Energy can help you determine if you qualify for incentives to upgrade insulation, air sealing, and high-efficiency heating and cooling equipment, including cold-climate heat pumps. These upgrades will mean you use less energy and pay smaller utility bills.

I upgraded my entire home heating and cooling system to a cold-climate heat pump last year, and you could immediately feel the difference in how well my home is heated and cooled. My bills have gone down, too.

Since most of Buffalo's homes were built before WWII, there's a high chance that they aren't very energy efficient. Doing some of these things will go a long way toward helping you live more comfortably, save money, and improve the environment.
