New York State Energy Rebates 2026
Heat pump, insulation, water heater, solar and EV rebates for New York homeowners — checked against NYSERDA and each utility on September 26, 2026.
Short answer: In New York your heat pump rebate depends on your electric utility. NYS Clean Heat pays $4,000 to $7,000 for a full system in a standard home, and up to $11,000 through Con Edison, $12,000 through Central Hudson, $13,000 through NYSEG and RG&E, and $14,000 through National Grid and Orange & Rockland for a weatherized home that removes its old heating system in a disadvantaged community. PSEG Long Island runs its own program at $4,000 to $7,500. Income-eligible homes can get free upgrades through EmPower+. The federal tax credits ended on December 31, 2025.

How much is the heat pump rebate for your utility?

Open the full rebate list
New York rebates are genuinely different depending which utility serves your address — there's no single statewide number. Con Edison, PSEG Long Island, National Grid and Central Hudson each run their own program with their own dollar amounts. Filter by category, or scroll to your utility’s group below. The heat pump figures are the NYS Clean Heat amounts (PSEG Long Island runs its own) — don’t add Clean Heat on top.

What stacks in New York — and what doesn’t
- Stacks: your utility heat pump rebate + EmPower+ (if your income qualifies) + NYSERDA Comfort Home for insulation + a separate heat pump water heater rebate ($1,000–$1,250).
- Doesn’t stack: “utility rebate + NYS Clean Heat” — they are the same money.
- No separate federal HEAR cheque: New York routes the federal Home Energy Rebates through EmPower+ and NYSERDA’s Appliance Upgrade Program for income-eligible households.
- Ended: the federal 25C and 25D tax credits, for anything installed after December 31, 2025.
- Capped: NYS Clean Heat pays at most 70% of the project cost (85% in a Disadvantaged Community). Nobody gets paid to install a heat pump.
What to do next
- Find your utility on your electric bill, then open your city page above.
- Check the Disadvantaged Community map — it can raise your rebate.
- If money is tight, apply to EmPower+ first.
- Compare top-rated local installers, ranked by Google reviews — free for homeowners. Ask each one to show the rebate on the quote.
