Enervee is thrilled to share that the Enervee/NY Marketplace went live in July 2022. New Yorkers can identify, compare, and purchase clean and efficient appliances and home technologies that lower bills and cut greenhouse gas emissions—through a modern utility marketplace experience.
About the Enervee/NY Marketplace
The initiative is partially funded by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) under an “innovative market strategies” solicitation focused on equitable, low-carbon adoption. The marketplace is one part of a broader effort to test offerings that advance decarbonization for disadvantaged communities.
NYSERDA Director of Energy and Climate Equity Chris Coll noted: “To achieve New York’s climate and equity goals, we must continue to address barriers to the adoption of clean energy solutions and advance energy affordability for vulnerable New Yorkers… the NY Marketplace [can] improve awareness and use of highly efficient appliances and complement whole-home retrofit programs by offering another path for consumers.”
What shoppers will find
Whether replacing a broken refrigerator today or researching a TV for the holidays, New Yorkers can browse tens of thousands of products across 35 categories—kitchen and laundry appliances, electronics, heating and cooling equipment, electric lawn and garden gear, and more (including EV chargers and backup power).
To simplify choice, Enervee’s platform shows a clear 0–100 Enervee Score® on every model and offers personalized recommendations, so shoppers can quickly spot high-performing, efficient options without decoding spec sheets.
Inclusive checkout with Eco Financing
Qualified New Yorkers who are watching every dollar can choose Eco Financing at checkout, turning a lump-sum price into affordable monthly payments (e.g., a $700 super-efficient appliance for under $15/month, illustrative). NYSERDA’s Loan Loss Reserve Program supports favorable APRs and terms and expands access to borrowers with credit scores down to 580.
Industry firsts
- Statewide energy-efficiency marketplace deployment
- Early focus on underserved households (geographically defined) with LLR-backed financing
- Integrated instant rebates and financing—testing how the combination drives adoption
EmPower NY: online delivery channel
In another first, Enervee and NYSERDA are testing the marketplace as a delivery channel for EmPower NY. Income-qualified customers select a refrigerator or freezer online; an EmPower credit is applied at checkout to reduce or fully cover cost, with delivery, installation, and haul-away/recycling included for EmPower participants. The aim: make participation simple, scalable, and cost-effective by tapping into natural replacement cycles.
Why it matters
Convenience, clear guidance, and inclusive payments remove real-world barriers—especially during “replace-now” moments—while helping New York stretch every program dollar. It’s a pragmatic way to drive measurable savings and equitable decarbonization outcomes at market scale.
Thanks to our partners
“Thanks to the State of New York for sharing our vision of Efficient Shopping for All and giving us the opportunity to better serve lower-income New Yorkers and disadvantaged communities,” said Anne Arquit Niederberger, Enervee’s SVP of Market Development. “We couldn’t have wished for a better partner than NYSERDA.”
