Upcoming Events

Many CNY homes, businesses, and nonprofits are cold and drafty, have aging inefficient furnaces, or are still on expensive oil, propane, or baseboard electric. HeatSmart CNY is a campaign to address this head-on, spreading the knowledge to help you connect with assessments, incentives, and technologies to make your home or business more comfortable, cost-effective, and better for the environment.

April 27 |11 AM - 2 PM

Heating and cooling is 38% of NY's greenhouse gas emissions. Transportation is 41%!

This event will highlight all you need to know about going net-zero through electrification. This Ride and Drive event at the Skaneateles Village Hall will let you experience electric vehicles and Level 2 electric vehicle charging stations first-hand. EV drivers will be available to answer questions and discuss their experiences and the electric vehicle lifestyle.

HeatSmart CNY will be present at EarthFest with information about how you can improve the comfort, cost, and climate impact of heating and cooling your home or building. Ask us questions, learn about the technologies, and enroll for a no-cost assessment to determine what approach is right for you!

The Campbells converted from a coal-fired furnace to geothermal over ten years ago! They also use solar photovoltaics to generate the electricity for their heat pump, and a pellet stove for when they want a nice cozy fire in the winter. This home is an excellent example of how everyone can go geothermal.

The SUNY Cortland community and many Cortland homes, businesses, and nonprofits are cold and drafty, have aging inefficient furnaces, or are still on expensive oil, propane, or baseboard electric. HeatSmart CNY is a campaign to address this head-on, spreading the knowledge to help you connect with assessments, incentives, and technologies to make your home or business more comfortable, cost-effective, and better for the environment.

Many of you have met Halco installer Matt Dennis at our workshops and open houses. Here, Matt welcomes us into his own home in Cortland to see his air source heat pump system in action!

At open house events, people can visit local homes with heat pumps in operation and talk to the homeowners and installers about the experience and the process, as well as get an abbreviated introduction to the HeatSmart CNY initiative.
