How much you get
National Grid's Total Home Comfort program pays $750–$2,000 toward professionally installed air sealing and insulation. NYSERDA's parallel Comfort Home "seal and insulate" packages run roughly $1,000–$4,000 depending on scope, and both are usually gated behind a home energy audit.
If your household is income-eligible (roughly ≤80% of area median income), EmPower+ can cover up to 100% of the cost — insulation, air sealing, and related health/safety work — at no charge.

Rochester-specific note
Rochester also has a genuinely local layer: the city-affiliated RENEW (Rochester ENergy Efficiency and Weatherization) program and the city's Energy Conservation Program (ECP), run alongside the "Energy Smart Rochester" initiative, target income-qualified city residents. These function as city-branded delivery channels for free weatherization work — a way to access the same state/utility money locally, not extra cash stacked on top of it.
