WHAT WE DO

This is how your home loses heat →

The Hudson Valley Energy Team has been serving the EmPower+ program in the Hudson Valley since 2009. The EmPower+ Program is what we do.

EmPower+ is a program that helps low and moderate-income households in NY save energy and money through property improvements.

Your home, as it shows in the picture, loses heat in many places, and allows outside air in. The goal of Hudson Valley Energy is to minimize the heat leaving and keep the cold air out. We also believe that you, the customer, should be educated on what we are doing, and try our best to explain the process in everyday language.

The auditors and contractors working on your home with Hudson Valley Energy have all been with the EmPower + program for 15+ years. We know how the program works, and our goal is to make you more comfortable in your home and save you money on your electric and fuel usage.
