Why heat pumps?

Listen to our expert Jenny Cross as she explains the available incentives and benefits of installing heat pump equipment.

How much could I save?

Heat Pump incentives vary depending on multiple factors. NYS Clean Heat Participating Contractors, are not only heat pump experts but have been trained to effectively determine equipment capacity to meet your home needs and calculate your total incentive. Incentives are based on the equipment capacity (Btu/h) and baseline incentive for each type of equipment and project. We are offering generous increased baseline incentives on all qualifying systems when you upgrade between October 1 and November 15, 2024, plus you can earn an additional bonus up to $1,250 when you submit a rebate application for an air-source heat pump or heat pump water heater by December 6, 2024. Use the table below as a quick reference guide:

Total Heating Btu/h x Baseline $ Incentive = Total $ Incentive

Note: Heat pump equipment incentives are only available to National Grid electric service customers and are capped at 50% of the project costs, including equipment and installer fees. Total incentive for heating equipment includes a Participating Contractor incentive up to $500, which the contractor is entitled to but may choose to offer to the customer.

Limited-time: Stack up even more savings.

For a limited time, we are offering generous increased incentives on all qualifying heat pumps, plus you can also take advantage of all the other ways these all-in-one systems could be more affordable for your budget, from low-interest financing options to federal tax credits, and special incentives if you live in priority electrification areas.

From October 1 to November 15, 2024, you can save more on your new, clean energy system and start saving on your annual energy costs for years to come.

 

How do heat pumps work?

During the colder months, heat pumps take heat from the outside air and transfer it into your home. During the warmer months, they keep your home cool by pulling heat from inside your home and transferring it outside.
