Heat pump: PSEG Long Island’s heat pump rebate
Best case for a whole-home system; most homes get less, as the table shows.
What makes Smithtown different
Smithtown is a Suffolk County town served by PSEG Long Island. Many of its 1950s–70s homes still heat with oil, which is where a whole-home heat pump saves the most each winter.
Smithtown has many split-levels and high ranches from the 1960s and 70s, often with ducts for central air. These layouts usually work well with a ducted or mixed ducted-and-ductless setup.
Plenty of homes still burn heating oil, and oil-to-heat-pump switches are where Long Island homeowners see the biggest drop in heating costs.
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 Smithtown
- If you have oil heat, ask for a whole-home switch quote.
- Ask if your existing AC ducts can be reused.
- Get 2–3 quotes and ask each contractor to show the rebate tier on the quote.
