A typical Brookhaven homeowner replacing a gas furnace with a heat pump gets $4,000–$7,500 from PSEG alone, plus $6,000–$10,000 from New York's Clean Heat state program (if income-qualified), plus $1,200 for a heat pump water heater—potentially $11,200–$18,700 in rebates on a ~$18,000–$22,000 heat pump installation. Your out-of-pocket: $3,300–$10,800 after rebates.

Renting or living in a condo? Here's what actually applies to you
Most rebates on this page assume you own a home outright and control the whole property. Brookhaven has mixed housing stock—older single-family homes in areas like Port Jefferson and Wading River, plus some newer multifamily. Here's what changes if you rent or live in a condo:
If you rent
The PSEG heat pump, water heater, and state rebates go to whoever owns and installs the equipment—typically your landlord, not you. PSEG and NYSERDA don't have confirmed renter-initiated rebate programs. If you want these upgrades, the ask has to go to your landlord or property manager. Point them to this page and PSEG's rebate portal to make the case.
If you own a condo unit
In-unit upgrades you control—a heat pump water heater, a standalone heat pump, a smart thermostat—may qualify for PSEG and state rebates with HOA approval, particularly for anything touching shared walls or common electrical systems. Get approval in writing before applying. PSEG doesn't have confirmed details on a separate multi-unit whole-building rebate stream for condos; if your building is considering a group retrofit, contact PSEG directly.
If you're a building owner or property manager
For an entire apartment or condo building, rebate decisions typically run through the HOA or property owner, and PSEG may handle multi-family properties differently than single-family applications. We don't have confirmed PSEG multi-family details specific to Brookhaven to state here confidently—if this applies to you, contact PSEG's customer programs line directly rather than relying on the single-family figures on this page.
