Save on Heat Pumps with the NYS Clean Heat Program
A Smarter Way to Heat & Cool Your Home
Still heating your home with oil, propane, or gas? You’re not alone, but you may be spending more than you need to for home comfort. Fortunately, there’s an energy-efficient, year-round solution that works for every season: heat pumps. Heat pumps offer a clean way to stay warm in the winter and cool in the summer, all in one system – and with current rebates, this can be a cost effective solution for your home. Rather than burning fossil fuels, heat pumps
move heat. In colder months, they draw warmth from the outside air or ground and bring it indoors. In the summer, they reverse the process to keep your home cool. With no fuel storage, no risk of carbon monoxide, and no reliance on gas, electric heat pumps provide a safe, environmentally friendly alternative. The result? Lower energy use, lower utility bills, and fewer emissions. It’s a win for your
wallet and the environment.
What Is the NYS Clean Heat Program?
The NYS Clean Heat Program is a statewide initiative backed by NYSERDA and participating utility companies like National Grid, NYSEG, RG&E, Central Hudson, and O&R. The goal? Help more New York State homeowners switch from fossil fuels to clean heat alternatives like air-source heat pumps. Thanks to this program, qualifying New York homeowners can receive rebates of up to $1,000 per 10,000 BTUs, making heat pump upgrades more affordable than ever. Many of our customers save several thousands on the installation of their air source heat pump systems! Beyond the upfront savings, you’ll also enjoy lower monthly energy bills and the long-term benefits of switching to clean energy.
