How much is the PSEG Long Island heat pump rebate in Southampton?
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 heat pump, market rate | $4,000 | $5,000 |
| Whole-home heat pump, moderate income (under 80% AMI) | $5,000 | $5,000 |
| Whole-home heat pump, low income (under 60% AMI) | $7,500 | $7,500 |
PSEG Long Island is not part of NYS Clean Heat. The heat pump must be on the NEEP cold-climate list, sized for the whole home, installed by a participating contractor, and pre-approved before work starts.
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 Southampton different
Southampton is on Long Island’s East End in Suffolk County, served by PSEG Long Island. Gas lines are limited out here, so many homes heat with oil or propane, and seasonal homes should ask whether the rebate’s whole-home sizing rules fit how the house is used.
Large homes and second homes are common here. A bigger house means a bigger system and a higher price, but the PSEG rebate is a flat amount per home, so the rebate covers a smaller share.
Salt air near the ocean and bays can shorten the life of outdoor units, so ask about coastal-rated coatings.
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 Southampton
- Ask about coastal-rated outdoor units if you are near salt water.
- For a second home, ask how PSEG treats seasonal occupancy before you sign.
- Get 2–3 quotes and ask each contractor to show the rebate tier on the quote.

How much is the heat pump rebate in Southampton?
PSEG Long Island’s heat pump rebate pays $4,000 (or $5,000–$7,500 if you qualify on income or live in a DAC) for a whole-home heat pump in Southampton, depending on home size, whether you remove the old system, and DAC status.
Is the PSEG rebate bigger for a big Southampton house?
No. PSEG Long Island pays a flat amount per home ($4,000 at market rate), so on a large house it covers a smaller share of the cost.
