What does not stack
Long Island is not part of NYS Clean Heat, so there is no second state rebate. There is no separate federal HEAR cheque — New York delivers it through EmPower+. The federal 25C/25D tax credits ended December 31, 2025.
Income-qualified help
EmPower+ (NYSERDA) is for lower-income owners and renters of 1–4 family homes. Low-income households can get upgrades at no cost, up to $12,000 upstate or $14,000 downstate. Moderate-income households get 50% of the cost covered, up to $6,000 upstate or $7,000 downstate. Heat pumps can add more on top. Income limits depend on your county and household size.
Comfort Home (NYSERDA) pays $2,500 or $3,000 toward an air-sealing and insulation package, plus $2,000 more if you add windows. It works through Comfort Home contractors in participating counties, so check that yours is covered.
