NYSEG and RG&E
NYSEG and RG&E provide incentives up to $1050 for cold climate air source heat pumps and $500 for heat pump water heaters. Visit their incentive page or download their application. A couple of details to note: 1) this is retroactive to the beginning of 2019, and 2) if you have multiple single-zone systems installed, according to NYSEG’s energy efficiency hotline, simply submit an application for each one.
Financing
With proper financing, households on oil, propane, and resistance electric can realize significant out-of-pocket savings on their annual energy costs from day one. It is always cheaper overall to pay upfront, but not everyone has the luxury of doing so. Here are options to consider:
Rebates & Incentives Slowly Dropping in Value After 2019
The bottom line here is when you get a new Cold Climate Air Source Heat Pump before 2020 you will get the maximum incentive and rebates from all sources.
When we come out to do a free estimate on your home or business we will give you an entire break down of what you will receive along with your estimate. These incentives, rebates and financing options make it easier than ever and more cost-effective than installing a traditional heating system. These systems include air conditioning and both heating & cooling your home or business will cost less than ever before imaginable.
