HomeWorks Energy Brings Energy Efficiency Services to New York State

Fast-growing home performance experts expand into Westchester and
surrounding Counties, connecting homeowners with financing and
technology to enhance energy efficiency.

WESTCHESTER, N.Y.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–HomeWorks
Energy, one of the largest providers of home energy efficiency
services in the Northeastern U.S., today announced its expansion into
Westchester County, New York. HomeWorks Energy has grown to become one
of the country’s most experienced home performance contractors, serving
more than 30,000 homeowners a year. This announcement marks the first
step in HomeWorks Energy’s planned national expansion and poises the
company to take a larger leadership role in shaping energy efficiency
programs and policy throughout the United States.

HomeWorks Energy conducts thorough home energy assessments and manages
retrofits to improve in-home energy efficiency, including the
installation of LED lighting, smart thermostats, upgraded insulation,
window treatments and more. Through its network of highly vetted and
trained contractors, utilities and government organizations, homeowners
can quickly achieve their energy efficiency goals without the hassle of
coordinating with multiple parties. Supported by its proprietary
software and highly trained staff, HomeWorks Energy makes energy
efficiency simple for homeowners by connecting them to available
financing and government incentive options. HomeWorks also offers
streamlined paperwork and logistics processing to remove traditional
barriers to adoption.

“As a region full of historic single-family homes constructed before
building codes prioritized energy efficiency, Westchester County is a
natural choice for the expansion of our business,” said Max Veggeberg,
HomeWorks Energy CEO. “Westchester is also home to the highest property
taxes of any county in the United States. The potential savings and
reduced environmental impact we can bring to Westchester residents is
huge. Additionally, HomeWorks Energy has created more than 300 jobs in
Massachusetts over the past five years and expects to drive similar job
growth in New York State. We look forward to serving this community.”

HomeWorks Energy is the leading partner of Mass
Save®, a collaborative of Massachusetts' natural gas and electric
utilities and energy efficiency service providers that helps residents,
businesses and communities save energy. The company will leverage
similar local energy efficiency programs in Westchester County, such as
the United States Department of Energy’s Home
Performance with ENERGY STAR® program, which offers 10-15
percent off insulation and easy access to on-bill financing, and the New
York State Energy Research and Development Authority’s EmPower
New York program, which provides eligible low-income households
access to energy efficiency upgrades at no cost.

In January alone, HomeWorks Energy’s upgrades prevented more than 50,000
metric tons of carbon dioxide from being released into the environment.
The company’s efforts will support New York State’s ambitious energy
initiatives, including a 40-percent reduction in greenhouse gas emission
from 1990 levels, and a 600-trillion Btu increase in statewide energy
efficiency.

HomeWorks Energy is currently recruiting additional partners in New York
State to support its energy efficiency efforts.
