HOME EDITION
Residential Programs That
Will Work For You
 Appliance Recycling Program
 ENERGY STAR® Products
 High Efficiency Heating Equipment Rebate Program
 Enhanced Home Sealing Incentives Program
 Energy Wise Multi-family Energy Efficiency Program
2
Getting rid of those energy hogs
 A 20 year old refrigerator or freezer consumes up to 1,400 kilowatthours (kWh) annually while an ENERGY STAR labeled model
consumes between 400 to 500 kWh annually.
 The environmental benefit of recycling 25,000 refrigerators is equal
to removing 50,000 cars from the road for a year.
 Recycling 25,000 refrigerators will result in 75,000 pounds of
aluminum that could yield nearly 2.1 million aluminum cans.
3
Appliance Recycling Program
 National Grid electric service customers.
 In-home pick up of old, inefficient second refrigerators and freezers
(up to 2 per household).
 Rebates for $30 per unit, not to exceed 2 units per household.
 The units must be at the service address. All units must be
between 10 and 30 cubic feet, using inside measurements. The
units cannot be the primary refrigerator and must be clean, empty
and in working order at the time of pick-up. They must be
accessible, with a clear path for removal by JACO Environmental.

Seeing and feeling the difference
 Upgrading your windows could help you save on your cooling bills
by reducing the solar heat gain coefficient (SGHC) in your home.
 In colder climates, a window with a low U-factor will reduce the
“ghost draft” effect and increase your comfort.
 Automatic or setback thermostats can help you save as much 10%
a year on your heating and cooling bills by turning back your
thermostat 10% to 15% for 8 hours.
5
ENERGY STAR® Products
 National Grid electric heating/cooling customers and gas heating
customers.
 Cash rebates of $10 per ENERGY STAR replacement window with
a U-Factor of .35 or lower, with a maximum rebate of $500 (50
windows). The windows may be self-installed or installed by a
qualified contractor.
 Cash rebates of $25 per ENERGY STAR rated or 7-day
programmable thermostats, up to 2 per service account. The
thermostats must be self-installed.
 Submit a completed rebate form along with a dated copy of the
sales invoice or receipt. The complete model number of each unit
installed and the cost of each unit installed must be clearly listed on
the invoice or receipt. A copy of the National Fenestration Rating
Council (NFRC) label for each window installed is required.

Burning dollars makes no sense
 Old forced-air furnaces operate at very low efficiencies, sending
30% or more of their energy dollars up the furnace flue, and in
doing so, each has pumped up to 4 tons of carbon dioxide, the
“greenhouse gas,” into the atmosphere every month.
 Upgrading a boiler from 56% to 90% efficiency in an average coldclimate house will save 1.5 tons of carbon dioxide emissions each
year if you heat with gas, or 2.5 tons if you heat with oil.

High Efficiency Heating
Equipment Rebate Program
 National Grid residential gas heating customers.
 (Installed Equipment 1/1/11 – 12/31/11, Limited to Funding
availability) Rebate incentive program for high efficiency heating
equipment: furnaces, boilers and/or indirect water heater,
thermostats and boiler reset controls.
 Customers must obtain a rebate reservation for their anticipated
rebate incentive at: www.powerofaction.com/efficiency. Customers
and contractors can view how much funding is available for this
program on the rebate reservation webpage. Rebate offers are
subject to change without notice and the program may be
suspended or terminated due to funding constraints at anytime.
After receiving your rebate reservation, you MUST complete a
rebate application and mail it in with a copy of your dated
ITEMIZED invoice. Equipment must be installed and rebate
applications with all required documents submitted within 60 days
from the date of the reservation.

Bundling up to stay warm
 The EPA estimates that homeowners can typically save up to 20%
of heating and cooling costs (or up to 10% of total energy costs) by
air sealing their homes and adding insulation.
 It is estimated that you could save about $600 per year by boosting
the amount of attic insulation from R-11 to R-49.
 An average home loses up to 30% of its heating and cooling energy
through air leaks.
10
Enhanced Home Sealing
Incentives Program (EHSIP)
 National Grid Residential natural gas heating service or active electric
heating service homeowners who reside in 1 – 4 unit dwellings.
 EHSIP offers eligible customers a site visit to the home for a cost of $50. A
participating Building Performance Institute (BPI) accredited contractor will
conduct a Comprehensive Home Assessment (CHA). This will include a
health and safety check, a blower-door test to identify air leakage in the
home and up to two hours of basic air sealing. At the conclusion of the
assessment, the customer will receive a report detailing prioritized
recommendations for energy efficiency improvements.
 Incentives of up to 50% of the total cost for attic insulation as identified in
the CHA and deemed eligible by energy efficiency standards in the NYS
Tech Manual. The incentive total is not to exceed $3,000.

11
Getting the most out
of Multi-family
 Insulating hot water pipes reduces heat loss and can raise water
temperature 2ºF–4ºF hotter than un-insulated pipes.
 CFLs use about 75% less energy than standard incandescent bulbs
and lasts up to 10 times longer.
 Low-Flow fixtures can achieve water savings of 25%–60%.
12
Energy Wise Multi-family Energy
Efficiency Program
 National Grid Residential Metered Buildings with 5 - 50 units.
 The Energy Wise Program provides incentives for installation of
building envelope measures such as insulation, sealing attic
ventilation, ductwork and air infiltration testing, lighting and refrigerator
replacements. In addition, participants may be eligible for incentives
for measures under other National Grid energy efficiency programs.
 Eligible Measures:
