Installations
Central Hudson’s Trade Allies (local heating, plumbing and HVAC contractors) play an important role in reaching out to customers interested in making energy efficiency upgrades. Trade Allies can participate in this program as installers by signing a participation agreement. Contractors certified by the Building Performance Institute (BPI) will be eligible for extra incentives under the Home Energy SavingsCentral program.

This energy efficiency program offered to Central Hudson customers is one of several approved by the New York State Public Service Commission (PSC) over the past two years. With direction from the PSC, Central Hudson is collaborating with several other New York utilities and New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) to save energy statewide. As more programs are approved for Central Hudson’s customers, they will be detailed on this web site.

Incentives of up to $600 are available for residential customers to professionally seal leaky home and duct systems after having an eligible SavingsCentral Trade Ally perform blower door and duct blaster testing.

An online energy audit for your home This Home Energy Saver^TM calculator is designed to help consumers identify the best ways to save energy in their homes, and find the resources to make the savings happen. This calculator was the first Internet-based tool for calculating energy use in residential buildings. Since each home is unique, an in-home audit by a BPI-certified contractor is the best way to find ways to save. But this calculator has proven to be helpful for many users. Individual results will vary. The project has been sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy, as part of the national ENERGY STAR Program for improving energy efficiency in homes, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the US Department of Housing and Urban Development's PATH program, the California Air Resources Board, the California Energy Commission's Public Interest Energy Research program, and Touchstone Electric Cooperatives.
