New York Heat Pump Rebates & Incentives (2026)
New York offers some of the largest heat pump rebates in the U.S. through the NYS Clean Heat program — up to $12,000 for air-source systems and up to $40,000 for geothermal. Income-eligible households can layer NYSERDA's Sustainable Futures Program per-measure caps on top of EmPower+ base incentives of $12,000 upstate or $14,000 downstate. Federal tax credits ended December 31, 2025, but state and utility incentives make New York one of the best places to install a heat pump in 2026. This guide covers all major New York heat pump incentives available in 2026, including NYS Clean Heat, Con Edison, National Grid, PSEG Long Island, Central Hudson, EmPower+, the Weatherized Tier, and the state geothermal credit. Here's what's actually available.

New York
Open
NYS Clean Heat (2026–2030) pays $1,000–$12,000 for air-source heat pumps and $14,000–$40,000 for geothermal, varying by utility, project category, dwelling type, DAC status, and the Weatherized Tier introduced September 1, 2026. EmPower+ covers households at or below 60% of SMI/AMI at $12,000 upstate or $14,000 downstate, and moderate-income households under 80% at 50% of cost up to $6,000–$7,000; Sustainable Futures Program per-measure caps are additive, but cannot combine with IRA HEAR, which is unavailable on any project including a heat pump. Homes heating with natural gas are generally not eligible for an EmPower+ heat pump, with pilot exceptions in some utility regions. A 25% geothermal tax credit (max $10,000) remains. Federal 25C/25D expired Dec 31, 2025.

The Short Version
✓ NYS Clean Heat: $1,000–$12,000
Reauthorized 2026–2030 with $5.36 billion. Six utilities participate. Full fossil fuel removal earns the highest rebates. DAC areas get enhanced amounts at most utilities.
✓ EmPower+ & Sustainable Futures Program
For income-eligible households under 80% of State or Area Median Income (SMI/AMI), in two tiers. Low-income is 60% or less: base $12,000 upstate or $14,000 downstate (downstate = Dutchess and Ulster counties and everything south of them). Moderate-income is under 80%: 50% of cost up to $6,000–$7,000. Sustainable Futures Program per-measure caps are additive on top, and low-income installations can be fully covered.
✓ Total Potential Savings
Above 80% SMI/AMI: $1,000–$12,000 through Clean Heat, depending on utility, category, dwelling type and DAC status. At or below 60%: EmPower+ low-income base plus additive Sustainable Futures Program caps. Between 60% and 80%: EmPower+'s moderate pathway. Geothermal: $14,000–$40,000 plus 25% state tax credit up to $10,000.
✗ Federal Tax Credits Expired
Section 25C ($2,000) and Section 25D (30% geothermal) both ended December 31, 2025. NY's state programs more than compensate for most homeowners.
⚠ Gas-heated homes: generally not eligible for an EmPower+ heat pump
NYSERDA approves heat pumps based on your existing heating fuel and your home's insulation level. Homes heating with natural gas are generally not eligible, with availability limited to pilots in certain utility regions. Roughly 61% of New York homes heat with gas, so check before planning around EmPower+.
⚠ Weatherization becomes mandatory for all Clean Heat incentives by March 1, 2028
The Weatherized Tier took effect September 1, 2026 per Program Manual Version 2. The tier differentiates incentive rates; it does not change the project cost cap. It's optional through 2027, but weatherization becomes mandatory by March 1, 2028 (at a standard still to be defined) — meaning homes will eventually need to meet weatherization standards to receive any Clean Heat incentive.
Federal Tax Credits Have Ended
Section 25C (up to $2,000/year for heat pumps) and Section 25D (30% for geothermal) both expired December 31, 2025 under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. No federal tax credit is available for 2026 installations. New York's state programs more than compensate — NYS Clean Heat offers up to $12,000 for air-source and $40,000 for geothermal, significantly more than the expired federal credits. For details, see our federal heat pump tax credit explainer.
If you completed an installation by December 31, 2025, you can still claim the credit on your 2025 return using IRS Form 5695. Unused Section 25D credits may carry forward to future tax years.
NYS Clean Heat Program — The Flagship
The NYS Clean Heat program is the primary heat pump incentive for New York homeowners. Reauthorized for 2026–2030 with approximately $5.36 billion, it's administered jointly by NYSERDA and six major utilities. The 2026 cycle introduced flat-rate incentives per project (replacing the old per-Btuh model), a new Weatherized Tier, and higher caps.
⚠ Common Mistake: Choosing a Non-Participating Contractor
All systems must be on the NEEP Cold Climate ASHP Product List (rated to -15°F), sized to meet 90–120% of design heating load via Manual J calculation, and installed by a NYS Clean Heat Participating Contractor. The incentive is applied directly to your contractor's invoice. If your contractor isn't enrolled, you get nothing.
Incentive caps: 70% of project cost, or 85% in Central Hudson territory or on a DAC project receiving DAC-specific incentives. The Weatherized Tier changes which rate applies, not the cap.
Con Edison (NYC & Westchester)
Con Edison does not offer plain Category 2 (full-load heating with the fossil system retained). Its fossil-removal option is Category 2b, which the Weatherized Tier split into two rates on September 1, 2026.
Category 2b — fossil system removed or disabled (Option 1)
| Rate tier | Apartment | Single family |
|---|---|---|
| Weatherized, DAC | $5,500 | $11,000 |
| Weatherized, non-DAC | $5,000 | $10,000 |
| Standard, DAC | $4,000 | $8,000 |
| Standard, non-DAC | $3,500 | $7,000 |
Con Edison — other categories
| Category | Amount |
|---|---|
| Cat. 2a — integrated controls (fossil system retained) | $1,000 apartment / $2,500 single family; $2,000 / $4,500 in a DAC |
| Cat. 4 — partial to full load, requires decommissioning | $1,500 apartment / $4,000 single family |
| Cat. 3 — GSHP, whole building | $30,000; $40,000 in a DAC |
| Cat. 5a — heat pump water heater (midstream) | $1,000 |
Category 2a and Category 4 carry no Weatherized Tier split. Category 4 applies when a previous partial heat pump incentive is followed by removing or disabling the old fossil heating, and requires decommissioning.
National Grid (Upstate NY)
National Grid switched to flat-rate per-project incentives in 2026 (replacing the old per-Btuh model).
| Category | Non-DAC (SF) | DAC (SF) |
|---|---|---|
| Cat. 2b — Full load, fossil removed | $10,000 | $12,000 |
| Cat. 2 — Full load, fossil retained | $6,000 | $8,000 |
| Cat. 3 — GSHP retrofit | $20,000 | $25,000 |
| Cat. 3 — GSHP new construction | $14,000 | $19,000 |
| Cat. 4 — Partial to full load | $4,000 | $4,000 |
| Cat. 5 — HPWH | $1,250 | $1,250 |
Other Utility Programs
Central Hudson (Mid-Hudson Valley)
Central Hudson uniquely applies the 85% project cost cap to all customers regardless of DAC status — the most generous cap structure among upstate utilities.
| Category | Single Family |
|---|---|
| Cat. 2b — Full load, fossil removed | $8,000 |
| Cat. 2 — Full load, fossil retained | $5,000 |
| Cat. 3 — GSHP retrofit | $18,000 |
| Cat. 4 — Partial to full load | $3,000 |
| Cat. 5 — HPWH | $1,250 |
Orange & Rockland (Lower Hudson Valley)
O&R publishes no rebate amounts on its own site — incentives flow through NYS Clean Heat Participating Contractors. Single-family amounts per the 2026 Program Manual:
| Category | Non-DAC (SF) | DAC (SF) |
|---|---|---|
| Cat. 2b — Full load, fossil removed | $9,000 | $10,000 |
| Cat. 2 — Full load, fossil retained | $5,000 | $6,000 |
| Cat. 3 — GSHP retrofit | $14,000 | $15,000 |
| Cat. 4 — Partial to full load | $3,000 | $3,000 |
| Cat. 5 — HPWH | $1,250 | $1,250 |
PSEG Long Island
PSEG Long Island runs its own program outside NYS Clean Heat, with rebates tiered by income. Whole-house cold-climate air-source rebates for single-family homes run $4,000 (market rate), $5,000 (DAC or moderate income, below 80% AMI), and $7,500 (low income, below 60% AMI). Geothermal is far larger — up to $24,000 per dwelling for new systems at the low-income rate. Systems must be NEEP-listed, sized to 100–120% of the dwelling's heating load via Manual J, and installed by a participating Home Comfort Partner. PSEG Long Island's tiers key on AMI alone, while EmPower+ uses the greater of State or Area Median Income at the same 60% and 80% thresholds. And for downstate EmPower+ projects, PSEG Home Comfort and Home Performance incentives are deducted from the EmPower+ cap rather than stacked on top of it.
| Geothermal (per dwelling) | Market rate | DAC / moderate income | Low income |
|---|---|---|---|
| New system | $12,000 | $15,000 | $24,000 |
| Retrofit | $6,000 | $7,500 | $12,000 |
NYSEG & RG&E (Southern Tier, Rochester)
NYSEG and RG&E ended their standalone residential rebate programs on June 30, 2025. All heat pump incentives now flow exclusively through NYS Clean Heat via Participating Contractors. Under the 2026 Program Manual, both pay $6,000 for single-family full-load projects with fossil retained and $10,000 with full fossil removal (NYSEG adds $1,000 in DACs; RG&E's DAC adder applies only to apartments). GSHP retrofits earn $17,000 ($18,000 in DACs).
EmPower+, Sustainable Futures Program & Federal HEAR
⚠ Check these two gates before the amounts
Heating fuel. NYSERDA decides whether a heat pump is approvable based on your existing heating fuel and your home's current insulation level. Homes heating with natural gas are generally not eligible for a heat pump through EmPower+: NYSERDA is still determining when a heat pump is an affordable replacement for gas, and availability is limited to pilots in certain utility regions — including the Energy Affordability Guarantee program administered by the Department of Public Service. Roughly 61% of New York homes heat with natural gas, so confirm your region applies before planning around EmPower+.
Insulation. EmPower+ also sets a minimum insulation level a home must meet before a heat pump is installed. The EmPower+ Program Manual defines it in Table 7. We have not been able to retrieve those figures and will not guess them — ask NYSERDA or your contractor what your home needs before assuming a heat pump is approvable.
New York was the first state to launch IRA-funded home energy rebates (June 2024). EmPower+ covers low-income households' improvements at no cost up to $12,000 per project upstate or $14,000 downstate (moderate-income households get 50% coverage up to $6,000–$7,000). NYSERDA now publishes its per-measure equipment caps under the Sustainable Futures Program, additive to those EmPower+ caps: $10,000 for an air-source heat pump, $10,000 for ground-source, $5,000 for a heat pump water heater, $5,000 for a panel box, and $2,500 for electrical wiring. Federal HEAR funding through EmPower+ covers $1,600 for air sealing, insulation, and ventilation — but only on projects that do not include a heat pump or heat pump water heater, and Sustainable Futures Program funding cannot be combined with IRA HEAR on the same project. A heat pump project is therefore the EmPower+ cap plus Sustainable Futures Program amounts, with no HEAR. IRA appliance rebates (up to $840, including heat pump clothes dryers) run through NYSERDA's Appliance Upgrade Program, which cannot run concurrently with EmPower+ — a household uses one program at a time, to stay under the $14,000 federal HEAR limit.
Households at or below 60% of the State or Area Median Income (SMI/AMI, whichever is greater) — EmPower+'s low-income tier — can receive 100% of project costs covered with zero out-of-pocket expense. Households under 80% fall in the moderate-income tier instead, at 50% of cost up to $6,000 upstate or $7,000 downstate. New York's separate HOMES allocation ($159.3 million for Home Efficiency Rebates) does not yet appear as a standalone consumer offering in NYSERDA's current program listings — moderate-income households access EmPower+'s 50% pathway instead.
EmPower+ and Clean Heat: Choose One Per Measure
EmPower+ and NYS Clean Heat utility incentives cannot be combined for the same installed measure. Income-eligible households should choose EmPower+ for the heat pump itself. Clean Heat can potentially cover other measures in the same project. Market-rate households above 80% SMI/AMI use Clean Heat as their primary pathway.
Weatherized Tier — In Effect Since September 1, 2026
The Weatherized Tier rewards homes meeting insulation and air-sealing standards with differentiated incentive rates: qualifying projects earn more, and non-qualifying projects earn less (Program Manual Version 2, section 2.1.5). At Con Edison that is no longer a projection: the standard-tier rate is below the weatherized rate in every cell of the table above. It does not change the project cost cap. Originally scheduled for March 1, 2026, the tier took effect September 1, 2026 per Program Manual Version 2 (March 5, 2026), following an extension granted by the Secretary on February 27. It is optional for 2026–2027, but the Commission's order requires weatherization as a prerequisite for all Clean Heat incentives by March 1, 2028, at a standard still to be defined — meaning homes will eventually need to meet weatherization standards to receive any Clean Heat incentive.
Con Edison's published rates are now split in two: a weatherized rate and a standard rate. On a non-DAC single-family Category 2b project the difference is $10,000 weatherized against $7,000 standard — $3,000 of real money riding on which tier a project lands in (Con Edison rate pages, read 2026-09-08). NYSERDA has not published the qualification standard — Program Manual Version 2 announces the tier without defining it, and Con Edison states that an approved contractor determines which tier a project qualifies for. Ask your contractor which rate applies before signing.
How Programs Stack
Important: EmPower+ and NYS Clean Heat utility incentives cannot be combined for the same installed measure. Income-eligible households must choose one pathway. However, different programs can cover different measures in the same project (e.g., Clean Heat for the heat pump, EmPower+ for weatherization). For a typical $20,000 whole-home heat pump installation:
Above 80% SMI/AMI — Con Edison (Non-DAC)
- Clean Heat Cat. 2b, single family, standard tier: $7,000
- Same project on the weatherized tier: $10,000
- Cap: 70% of $20,000 = $14,000
- Federal tax credit: $0 (expired)
Realistic maximum: ~$7,000 standard, ~$10,000 weatherized
Above 80% SMI/AMI — National Grid (DAC)
- Clean Heat Cat. 2b (fossil removed): $12,000
- Cap: 85% of $20,000 = $17,000
Realistic maximum: ~$12,000
At or Below 60% SMI/AMI — EmPower+ (Best Case)
- EmPower+ base (low-income): $12,000 upstate / $14,000 downstate
- Sustainable Futures Program, additive: $10,000 air-source or ground-source heat pump, $5,000 heat pump water heater, $5,000 panel box, $2,500 wiring
- No IRA HEAR on this project: the $1,600 insulation, ventilation and air-sealing money is only for projects without a heat pump or heat pump water heater, and Sustainable Futures Program funding cannot be combined with HEAR
- Coverage: up to 100% of project costs
- Note: cannot also receive Clean Heat for same HP
Realistic maximum: project fully covered — free
Between 60% and 80% SMI/AMI — EmPower+ (Moderate Tier)
- EmPower+ moderate: 50% of cost, up to $6,000 upstate / $7,000 downstate
- Sustainable Futures Program, additive: $10,000 air-source or ground-source heat pump, $5,000 heat pump water heater, $5,000 panel box, $2,500 wiring
- No IRA HEAR on this project, for the same two reasons as above
- Note: cannot also receive Clean Heat for same HP
Realistic maximum: the moderate cap plus whichever Sustainable Futures Program measures apply
What You'll Actually Pay
For a $20,000 whole-home system with full fossil removal: market-rate homeowners in non-DAC areas pay $10,000–$13,000 out of pocket (rebates run $7,000–$10,000 across the six Clean Heat utilities; PSEG Long Island's separate program pays $4,000–$7,500 for air-source). DAC-area homeowners pay $8,000–$12,000 (rebates $8,000–$12,000 — except Central Hudson, which pays the same $8,000 with or without DAC status). Keeping the fossil system on integrated controls (Category 2a) instead of removing it cuts the rebate sharply — $2,500 for a single-family home at Con Edison, $1,000 for an apartment. Income-eligible households through EmPower+ may pay $0. On-Bill Recovery Loans and NYSERDA Smart Energy Loans can finance remaining costs.
Weatherization and All-Electric Building Act
Weatherization: EmPower+ provides free weatherization services (insulation, air sealing, heating system replacement) for income-eligible households. WAP is also available through local Community Action Agencies for households at or below 60% of State Median Income.
All-Electric Building Act: Effective January 1, 2026, New York became the first state to require all-electric equipment in new construction of seven stories or fewer — no gas furnaces, stoves, or water heaters. This applies only to new construction, not existing homes. The Climate Action Council has recommended eventually prohibiting new fossil fuel furnace installations in existing homes when systems reach end of life, but this is not yet law.
✓ Best Candidates for a Heat Pump in New York
Income-eligible households (EmPower+ base plus additive Sustainable Futures Program caps — potentially free). Homeowners in DAC areas ($10,000–$12,000 Clean Heat at most utilities + 85% cap). Oil-heated homes (highest fuel cost savings + strongest rebate tiers for fossil fuel removal). Anyone with a Weatherized Tier-qualifying home (higher rate tier; the cap is unchanged).
Climate Context
New York spans climate zones 4A (NYC, Long Island) through 6A (Adirondacks, far upstate). All NYS Clean Heat–qualifying equipment must be on the NEEP Cold Climate Product List, rated to -15°F.
| Location | ASHRAE 99% Design Temp | Climate Zone |
|---|---|---|
| New York City | ~11°F | 4A |
| Albany | ~-2°F | 5A |
| Buffalo | ~2°F | 5A |
| Syracuse | ~-2°F | 5A |
Approximately 61% of NY homes heat with natural gas, 17% with fuel oil, and 16% with electricity (EIA RECS 2020). New York's fuel-oil share is among the highest in the nation, which makes it one of the most compelling states for heat pump economics. For more on energy storage, see our home battery guide.
How to Apply
Contact a NYS Clean Heat Participating Contractor
Find contractors at cleanheat.ny.gov. The incentive is applied directly to your invoice — you see the reduced price upfront.
Check Income Eligibility for EmPower+
If you may qualify (under 80% of State or Area Median Income), apply at nyserda.ny.gov or call 1-866-NYSERDA. Households at or below 60% reach the low-income tier, which is the no-cost base plus additive Sustainable Futures Program caps.
Pursue the Weatherized Tier
Ask your contractor which rate tier applies to your project — Con Edison states that an approved contractor determines it. The tier took effect September 1, 2026 per Program Manual Version 2. Qualifying moves a project to the higher rate tier. It does not change the project cost cap.
Apply for Financing If Needed
On-Bill Recovery Loans (payments capped at estimated energy savings) or NYSERDA Smart Energy Loans (low-interest) can cover remaining costs after incentives.
What to Watch
Weatherized Tier — Qualification Standard Still Unpublished
The tier took effect September 1, 2026 per Program Manual Version 2. NYSERDA has not published the qualification standard, and Con Edison states that an approved contractor determines which tier a project qualifies for. Qualifying homes move to the higher rate tier; non-qualifying projects earn less — $7,000 rather than $10,000 on a non-DAC single-family Con Edison project. The tier does not change the project cost cap.
IRA Funding Runway
HEAR and HOMES funds remain available until expended or September 30, 2031. The OBBBA did not repeal IRA rebate allocations. New York has already been distributing funds through EmPower+ since June 2024. DOE's May 2026 rules (Program Notice 26-2) removed fuel switching from HEAR nationwide; that conformance deadline has passed. NYSERDA now publishes its per-measure equipment caps under the Sustainable Futures Program; IRA HEAR money covers air sealing, insulation, and ventilation only on projects without a heat pump or heat pump water heater, and cannot be combined with Sustainable Futures Program funding. EmPower+ blends state and federal funding, so confirm with NYSERDA which pathway applies to your measures before starting a project.
2028 Weatherization Mandate
By March 1, 2028, weatherization becomes a prerequisite for all Clean Heat incentives (the required standard is still to be defined). Qualifying now moves a project to the higher rate tier and avoids future compliance costs.
NY State Geothermal Tax Credit
The 25% state geothermal tax credit (up to $10,000) remains active for 2026. Combined with Clean Heat rebates of $14,000–$40,000, this makes NY one of the best states for ground-source systems.
Frequently Asked Questions
What heat pump rebates are available in New York in 2026?
NYS Clean Heat offers $1,000–$12,000 for air-source heat pumps (depending on utility, project category, dwelling type, and DAC status) and $14,000–$40,000 for geothermal. EmPower+ provides base incentives of $12,000 (upstate) or $14,000 (downstate) for low-income households at or below 60% of State or Area Median Income, and 50% of cost up to $6,000–$7,000 for moderate-income households under 80%, with NYSERDA’s Sustainable Futures Program per-measure caps additive on top. The Weatherized Tier, which differentiates incentive rates rather than changing the project cost cap, took effect September 1, 2026 per Program Manual Version 2, following an extension granted by the Secretary on February 27. Federal 25C and 25D tax credits expired December 31, 2025.
Can I stack NYS Clean Heat rebates with HEAR in New York?
EmPower+ (which delivers NYSERDA and federal funding, including HEAR) and NYS Clean Heat utility incentives cannot be combined for the same installed measure. Income-eligible households must choose one pathway for the heat pump itself. However, different programs can cover different measures in the same project. For market-rate homeowners, Clean Heat is the primary pathway ($1,000–$12,000). Total Clean Heat incentives are capped at 70% of project cost, or 85% in Central Hudson territory or on a DAC project receiving DAC-specific incentives. The Weatherized Tier changes which incentive rate applies, not the cap.
What is the NYS Clean Heat Weatherized Tier?
The Weatherized Tier took effect September 1, 2026 per Program Manual Version 2, following an extension granted by the Secretary on February 27. Con Edison’s published rates are now split in two: a weatherized rate and a standard rate. NYSERDA has not published the qualification standard — the manual announces the tier without defining it, and Con Edison states that an approved contractor determines which tier a project qualifies for, so ask your contractor which rate applies. The tier differentiates incentive rates rather than adding a flat bonus: qualifying homes meeting insulation and air-sealing standards earn more, while non-qualifying projects earn less (Program Manual Version 2, section 2.1.5). At Con Edison a non-DAC single-family Category 2b project pays $10,000 on the weatherized tier and $7,000 on the standard tier. The tier does not change the project cost cap, which is 70%, or 85% in Central Hudson territory or on a DAC project receiving DAC-specific incentives. It is optional in 2026–2027, but the Public Service Commission order requires weatherization as a prerequisite for all Clean Heat incentives by March 1, 2028, at a standard still to be defined.
What is EmPower+ and how does it connect to HEAR?
EmPower+ is NYSERDA’s program for income-eligible households at or below 80% of the State or Area Median Income (whichever is greater). Low-income households, at or below 60% of that figure, receive no-cost improvements capped at $12,000 (upstate) or $14,000 (downstate) per project; moderate-income households, under 80%, receive 50% of cost, up to $6,000 (upstate) or $7,000 (downstate). NYSERDA publishes additional per-measure caps under its Sustainable Futures Program, additive to those EmPower+ caps: $10,000 for an air-source heat pump, $10,000 for ground-source, $5,000 for a heat pump water heater, $5,000 for a panel box, and $2,500 for electrical wiring. Federal HEAR funding through EmPower+ covers air sealing, insulation, and ventilation up to $1,600, but only on projects that do not include a heat pump or heat pump water heater, and Sustainable Futures Program funding cannot be combined with IRA HEAR funding on the same project. A heat pump project is therefore the EmPower+ cap plus Sustainable Futures Program amounts, with no HEAR. Low-income projects can be covered in full with zero out-of-pocket expense. Approval also depends on the home’s existing heating fuel and insulation level: homes heating with natural gas are generally not eligible for a heat pump through EmPower+, with availability limited to pilots in certain utility regions, and the program sets a minimum insulation level defined in Table 7 of the EmPower+ Program Manual.
Do all heat pumps qualify for New York incentives?
No. All eligible air-source heat pumps must appear on the NEEP Cold Climate ASHP Product List, ensuring performance at temperatures as low as -15°F. Systems must be sized to meet 90–120% of the building’s design heating load via Manual J calculation and installed by a NYS Clean Heat Participating Contractor.
Who administers New York’s heat pump programs?
NYS Clean Heat is administered jointly by NYSERDA and six major electric utilities: Con Edison, National Grid, NYSEG, RG&E, Central Hudson, and Orange & Rockland. PSEG Long Island runs its own separate heat pump program for Long Island homeowners. EmPower+ and HEAR are administered by NYSERDA. The NY State geothermal tax credit is claimed through the state tax return.
