Household Appliance Grants for Storm Recovery


Governor Cuomo Announces $8 Million Household Appliance Program

 

NYSERDA is offering grants to victims of Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee through the New York Storm Relief Rebate Program. With funding from the American Recovery and Investment Act, the $8 million program will assist New Yorkers in the replacement of household appliances that were lost or damaged in the recent flooding. 


"Our top priority is making sure those affected by these storms have the help they need to recover," Governor Cuomo said. "This program will cover the costs for critical household appliances and help New Yorkers who suffered property damage to save money as they rebuild after the storms."

 

Homeowners can receive a rebate for the purchase of energy efficient equipment such as refrigerators, boilers, furnaces, and washing machines. Where applicable, rebates will be offered for ENERGY STAR appliances or other high efficiency options (please see table below for eligible appliances and rebates). Each appliance has a fixed maximum grant, which could cover up to 100 percent of the total purchase.
