How it Works
To get started, find a participating contractor in the New York State Clean Heat Program. Your contractor will help select and install your heat pump and deduct your rebate from the total project cost.
When combined with federal tax credits, you could save tens of thousands of dollars when you install a heat pump.
Incentives
Ground-Source Incentives
Ground-source (also known as geothermal) heat pumps transfer heat stored in the earth into your building during the winter, and transfer it out and back into the ground during the summer to keep your space cool.
Commercial customers are eligible for incentives on ground-source heat pump installations as a custom incentive based on the following rates:
