How much is the Con Edison heat pump rebate in NYC?
Amounts for a single-family home. You get one line from this table, not several.
| What you install | Standard | In a Disadvantaged Community |
|---|---|---|
| Whole-home air-source heat pump, standard tier | $7,000 | $8,000 |
| Whole-home air-source heat pump, weatherized tier | $10,000 | $11,000 |
| Partial system (heat pump covers part of the home) | $2,500 | $4,500 |
| Apartment, whole-home | $3,500–$5,000 | $4,000–$5,500 |
| Ground-source (geothermal), whole 1–4 unit building | $30,000 | $40,000 |
| Heat pump water heater | $1,000 | $1,000 |
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.
What makes New York City different
Con Edison supplies electricity across all five boroughs. For gas, Con Edison serves Manhattan, the Bronx and parts of Queens, while National Grid serves Brooklyn, Staten Island and the rest of Queens. That matters because the biggest Clean Heat amounts go to homes that fully replace oil, gas or electric-resistance heat. Many row houses and small multifamily buildings here have old steam or oil systems, which is exactly where a whole-home heat pump pays off most.
Steam heat is the big NYC question. Many pre-war buildings run one-pipe or two-pipe steam boilers, and a heat pump has to replace that heat room by room, often with ductless heads. A contractor who has done brownstone and row-house jobs will size this better than one who mostly installs central systems in the suburbs.
Co-op and condo owners usually need board approval for outdoor units, and some buildings restrict units on the street side. Owners of 1–4 family houses can apply directly. Renters in these buildings may still qualify for EmPower+ even though the landlord owns the heating system.
NYC’s Local Law 97 mostly targets buildings over 25,000 sq ft, so it rarely applies to a one- to four-family home — but it is why some larger co-ops are already planning building-wide electrification.
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 New York City
Con Edison has no rebate for buying a home charger. Its SmartCharge New York program pays about $400 a year on average for charging off-peak. PowerReady stopped taking new Level 2 applications on April 22, 2026.
What to do next in New York City
- Find out if your heat is steam, hot water or forced air — it changes which heat pump design fits.
- If you are in a co-op or condo, ask the board about rules for outdoor units before you get quotes.
- 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 New York City?
NYS Clean Heat (run by Con Edison) pays up to $10,000 ($11,000 in a Disadvantaged Community) for a whole-home heat pump in New York City, depending on home size, whether you remove the old system, and DAC status.
Can I get the Con Edison rebate if I live in a co-op or condo?
Individual apartment owners can qualify at the apartment amounts, but you will usually need your board to approve the outdoor unit. Whole-building projects in larger buildings go through Con Edison's multifamily program instead.
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.
