How much is the Con Edison heat pump rebate in Mount Vernon?
Amounts for a single-family home. You get one line from this table, not several.
| What you install | Standard | In a Disadvantaged Community |
|---|---|---|
| Air-source, Category 2a with integrated controls (no Weatherized Tier) | $2,500 | $4,500 |
| Air-source, Category 2b, old system decommissioned | $7,000 | $8,000 |
| Air-source, Category 2b, Weatherized Tier | $10,000 | $11,000 |
| Partial to full load, single-family (apartment $1,500) | $4,000 | $4,000 |
| Ground-source, whole 1–4 unit building (Weatherized Tier $30,000 / $40,000) | $25,000 | $35,000 |
| Heat pump water heater ($1,500 for applications Sept 1–Nov 30, 2026) | $1,300 | $1,300 |
Con Edison takes the incentive off your contractor’s invoice, so you never wait for a cheque. Your home must pass a “service adequate” check first.
Heat pump: NYS Clean Heat (run by Con Edison)
Best case for a whole-home system; most homes get less, as the table shows.
What makes Mount Vernon different
Mount Vernon borders the Bronx in southern Westchester and is served by Con Edison. Parts of the city are mapped as Disadvantaged Communities, so check your address — DAC status raises the Con Edison amount and the cost cap (85% instead of 70%).
Mount Vernon is one of the most densely built cities in Westchester, with many older two-family homes and small apartment buildings. Owner-occupants of 1–4 family buildings can use the Con Edison program for every unit.
Because parts of the city are Disadvantaged Communities, the same project can earn a higher Clean Heat amount and a higher cost cap depending on the exact address. Two neighbours on different blocks can get different numbers.
Lower-income owners and renters should look at EmPower+ first, since it can pay for insulation and air sealing at no cost and make the heat pump smaller.
What does not stack
Clean Heat is the Con Edison rebate, so never add the two together. Clean Heat is capped at 70% of cost (85% in a DAC). 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? EmPower+ can cover far more than the utility rebate. Check the state DAC map too — it can raise your amount.
EV chargers in Mount Vernon

What to do next in Mount Vernon
- Look up your exact address on the DAC map before you compare quotes.
- If money is tight, apply to EmPower+ first, then plan the heat pump.
- Get 2–3 quotes and ask each contractor to show the rebate tier on the quote.

Common questions
How much is the heat pump rebate in Mount Vernon?
NYS Clean Heat (run by Con Edison) pays up to $11,000 (Disadvantaged Community, Weatherized Tier, old system removed) for a whole-home heat pump in Mount Vernon, depending on home size, whether you remove the old system, and DAC status.
Why did my neighbour get a bigger rebate than my quote shows?
Disadvantaged Community status is set by census tract, so homes a few blocks apart can fall on different sides of the line. DAC homes get higher Con Edison amounts and an 85% cost cap instead of 70%.
Is the federal tax credit still available for heat pumps?
No. The federal 25C and 25D credits ended for anything installed after December 31, 2025.
