Oneonta To Hold Discussion on Home Performance

Local Oneonta homeowner Frank Monaco will give a testimony on the Home Performance with Energy Star® Program. This program aims to help homeowner’s save money on their utility bills, increase their home’s comfort and safety, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Oneonta Mayor Richard Miller and Harris Ridge on behalf of U.S. Representative Chris Gibson’s office, will join Building Performance Institute (BPI) accredited contractors, and Oneonta City Council members today to talk about the benefits of this unique program.

Through the program, homeowners can access free or reduced-cost energy assessments of their homes by highly trained BPI contractors. After the assessment, the program helps homeowners through the process of financing their home improvements with matching grants, low-interest loans, and an on-bill repayment program, which allows customers to repay the financing of improvements directly on their energy bill. State assemblyman Bill Magee will also be in attendance.
