Amounts for a single-family home. You get one line from this table, not several.

Best case for a whole-home system; most homes get less, as the table shows.
What makes Brookhaven different
Brookhaven is Long Island’s largest town, in Suffolk County. PSEG Long Island supplies electricity (for LIPA) and National Grid supplies gas where there are gas lines — but many homes in eastern Brookhaven heat with oil, which is where a heat pump saves the most.
Brookhaven covers a huge area, from dense neighbourhoods near the LIRR to rural areas out east. Homes west of the town often have gas; many further east heat with oil.
The Town of Brookhaven has run a Long Island Green Homes program for income-eligible residents; check with the town for what is open now before counting on it.
Older homes around Port Jefferson, Setauket and Patchogue often have boilers and radiators, while newer subdivisions in the middle of the town usually have ducts. That split decides whether a ductless or ducted system makes sense, and it changes the price a lot more than it changes the rebate.
What does not stack
Long Island is not part of NYS Clean Heat, so there is no second state rebate. 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.
What to do next in Brookhaven
- Check if your home is on gas or oil — oil homes save the most.
- Ask the Town of Brookhaven if its Green Homes program is taking applications.
- Get 2–3 quotes and ask each contractor to show the rebate tier on the quote.
