"When we moved in, we realized it was a 100-year-old house that needed work, and we really wanted to be energy efficient in everything we did, Malcolm recalls. It didn't make sense to pour money into things without maximizing our efforts. That first winter was eye-opening. Draft-prone windows, cold walls, and an especially chilly attic made it clear where heat was escaping. With monthly energy bills averaging $300-400 and spiking to $600-700 during extreme weather Malcolm knew something had to change."
"Enter Con Edison's Weather Ready program, designed to help homeowners upgrade their homes for energy efficiency. The program is part of Con Edison's broader strategy to modernize New York City's electric grid and reduce strain during peak demand periods and improve reliability. The program helps customers create more comfortable, energy-efficient homes by providing expert guidance and affordable upgrades, which reduce energy waste, lower monthly bills, and secure their energy reliability for the future, said Jacob Noori, Con Edison Energy Efficiency Deputy Program Manager."
Malcolm Preston bought a century-old New Rochelle home that had draft-prone windows, cold walls, and a chilly attic, causing winter and summer energy bills to average $300–400 and spike to $600–700. Con Edison's Weather Ready program offers homeowners expert guidance, affordable upgrades, and incentives up to $4,000 for one-to-four-family homes to improve insulation, reduce energy waste, and lower bills. The program supports Con Edison's broader grid modernization and peak-demand reduction strategy to improve reliability. Separate incentive tracks address larger multifamily buildings. The program aims to create more comfortable, energy-efficient homes while securing future energy reliability.
