Eligibility
Please read the Multifamily Clean Heat Program Manual (PDF) for full eligibility requirements.
- You must own or manage a residential multifamily building with 5+ residential units and have an eligible Con Edison electric account.
- New construction space heating applications are only eligible for geothermal heat pump (GSHP) incentives, not air source heat pump (ASHP) incentives. Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHP) for Domestic Hot Water (DHW) incentives are available to new construction and existing building projects.
- Mixed-used buildings with both multifamily and commercial spaces can apply to the program with the dominant use type, determined on a case-by-case basis.
- All existing buildings are subject to decommissioning of the existing fossil fuel system for the building’s space-heating scope of work.
- Common-area-only, scope-of-work projects are not eligible for Clean Heat incentives.
- Projects submitted must not have begun installation.
