ABOUT ENERGYFIT

The EnergyFit program is a partnership between Pratt Center for Community Development, IMPACCT Brooklyn, and Cypress Hills Local Development Corporation seeking to enhance home comfort, health, and safety in New York City’s two to three family homes. The program offers a package of electrification and energy saving measures that make it easier, cheaper and quicker for homeowners to make health, safety, and energy efficiency improvements to their homes. If your home needs critical repairs before it can receive energy upgrades, the EnergyFit program will assist you in accessing debt free funds to complete the repairs. 

To participate in the program free of cost, approved homes will receive the package of electrification and efficiency upgrades and then must have their energy usage tracked and analyzed for one year after the retrofit. Your personal experiences are also assessed through homeowner surveys. This data will is used to create better designed programs for homeowners like yourself.
