Comfort Ready Weatherization for NYC and Downstate Homes

Comfort Ready is open for 1-to-4 family homes. Insulation Builders is an approved contractor for the program. We check whether your home fits, file the application and install the work.

If a different path fits better — NYSERDA Comfort Home or EmPower+ — we run that one too. One contractor, end to end.

• Approved for Comfort Ready. We check eligibility, file the paperwork and do the install.
• Other programs, same crew. NYSERDA residential programs are part of what we already handle.
• A clear next step. Check eligibility in the form below, and we tell you which program is yours.

What the work is

Con Edison describes it as professionally installed insulation and air sealing. This is the work we do on that kind of project:

• Air sealing of the gaps that leak air in and out of the house.
• Attic and roof insulation, including the ceiling under a flat roof.
• Wall insulation for closed walls and open framing.
• Basement and rim joist insulation where the floor frame meets the foundation.

We’ll tell you which of these the program covers for your home.

How we handle it

We’re an enrolled contractor in Con Edison, National Grid and NYSERDA programs, so we can run Comfort Ready or whichever other program fits your home.

1. Assessment. We visit, look at the attic, walls and basement, and check for air leaks.
2. Filing. We check your utility and heating fuel, then file the application.
3. Install. Our crew does the work. The program’s incentive comes off your final bill, so you pay the difference.

Con Edison describes the same steps: pick a contractor, get an in-home assessment and quote with the incentive already taken out, then the contractor does the work and subtracts the incentive from your invoice.

Check eligibility in the form below, or call (347) 200-5089. You can also look up the address.

Buildings with 5 or more apartments

Comfort Ready is for 1-to-4 family homes. Larger buildings use a different path, and we handle those too. See the 2027 programs overview, the Con Edison multifamily page and the AMEEP page for affordable buildings.
