Rebates And Incentives In New York State
New! In response to COVID-19
NYS is offering 0% interest loans for energy efficiency and heat pumps for the life of the loan!
Utilities: The New York State heat pump rebates are now administered by your utility, with the rebate level based on the system’s heating capacity. These generous rebates start at $500 for installing one air source unit, but climb substantially with whole-home installations. The new rebates are providing an average of $6,000-$8,000 per air source whole-home system and $8,000 - $10,000 for a geothermal system. The HeatSmart partner-installers will find your relevant rebates using calculations specific to your building and the proposed equipment. Every HeatSmart partner installer has the necessary accreditation, software, and experience to accurately inform you of your true bottom line (included on your proposal) and will assist you with the paperwork.
Federal Tax Credits: For 2020 geothermal installations the federal government offers residential and commercial tax credits of 26% of the total installed cost. Act now! This credit is scheduled to decrease to 22% next year, then phase out. Consult a tax professional for questions about how to take advantage of this tax credit.
Financing: Our installer-partners offer a wide variety of financing options ranging from traditional loans to the NYSERDA loans.
Energy Efficiency Programs:
NYSERDA offers every New York resident a free, professional home energy assessment. If you meet the income eligibility requirements there are extra benefits to pay for thermal improvements .
