Why heat pumps?
Listen to our expert Jenny Cross as she explains the available incentives and benefits of installing heat pump equipment.
How much could I save?
Heat Pump incentives vary depending on multiple factors. NYS Clean Heat Participating Contractors are not only heat pump experts but have been trained to effectively determine equipment capacity to meet your home needs and calculate your total incentive. Incentives are based on the equipment heating capacity (Btu/h) and baseline incentive for each type of equipment and project. For a limited time, we are offering National Grid Electric customers, generous increased baseline incentives on all qualifying heat pump systems when you upgrade between August 1 and September 30, 2024. Use the table below as a quick reference guide:
Total Heating Btu/h x Baseline $ Incentive = Total $ Incentive
NOTE: All heat pump equipment rebates are exclusive to National Grid electric service customers.
* Increased incentive is not available for heat pump water heaters with in-store instant rebates.
Limited-time: Stack up even more savings.
For a limited time, we are offering generous increased incentives on all qualifying heat pumps, plus you can also take advantage of all the other ways these all-in-one systems could be more affordable for your budget, from low-interest financing options to federal tax credits, and special incentives if you live in priority electrification areas.
Low- and moderate-income households may qualify for assistance from EmPower+ toward energy improvements including heat pump systems.
From August 1 to September 30, 2024, you can save more on your new, clean energy system and start saving on your annual energy costs for years to come.
How do heat pumps work?
During the colder months, heat pumps take heat from the outside air and transfer it into your home. During the warmer months, they keep your home cool by pulling heat from inside your home and transferring it outside.
How old is your current equipment?
Check the age and health of your current heating and water-heating equipment - because nobody wants to experience a breakdown in the middle of winter.
