Converted barn outside Cooperstown, no insulation, wood stove only backup. Pipes burst twice. Does WAP-NY do non-traditional homes?
WAP-NY handles unique structures if they’re primary residences; my brother’s 1880s barn got spray foam, new ductless units, and pipe wrap last fall. Crews brought scaffolding. Need deed showing residential tax class, frost-depth photos, and income. The site has a “non-standard dwelling” intake form: https://www.utilityassistance.org/ny/wap-ny/ – audit used infrared to map heat loss. Work finished in six days; stove now backup only. NYSEG bill down 65%, no more burst pipes
