Con Edison Heat Pump Rebates in New York City

Replacing fossil-fuel heating with a qualifying air-source heat pump can earn a Con Edison incentive of up to $8,000 — and up to $10,000 for buildings in designated disadvantaged communities. YATSON designs systems that qualify and helps you through the process.

What the Clean Heat program is

Clean Heat is the utility incentive program that pays New York homeowners to switch from oil- or gas-fired heating to efficient electric air-source heat pumps. For Con Edison customers in New York City it is currently the largest single incentive available for a heat-pump installation.

  • Up to $8,000 for a typical single-family air-source heat pump project
  • Up to $10,000 for properties in designated disadvantaged communities (DACs)

Final amounts depend on current program rules, the equipment installed, your property and the heating being displaced. Verify the current terms on the official Con Edison incentive page and confirm eligibility for your specific address before budgeting.

What changed in 2026

The federal 25C tax credit (up to $2,000 for heat pumps) was repealed and does not apply to installations completed in 2026 — the cutoff followed the “placed in service” date, not the contract date. That makes the Con Edison rebate the main incentive for NYC projects this year, and getting the program details right matters more than ever.

What typically qualifies

  • You are a Con Edison electric customer in NYC (Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island for our service area).
  • The system is a cold-climate air-source heat pump from the program’s eligible equipment list — many ducted and ductless (mini-split) models qualify.
  • The heat pump replaces or displaces fossil-fuel heating (oil or gas), per the program’s project rules.
  • The work is completed through a contractor participating in the program, with the required documentation.

Income-qualified households (at or below 80% of Area Median Income) may instead use NYSERDA EmPower+ — it cannot be combined with Clean Heat on the same installation, so it pays to choose the right path before work is scoped.

Rebate questions we hear most

How much is the Con Edison heat pump rebate in NYC? +

Con Edison Clean Heat incentives for air-source heat pumps run up to $8,000 for a typical single-family installation, and up to $10,000 for properties in designated disadvantaged communities (DACs). The final amount depends on current program rules, the equipment installed, your property, and the heating system being replaced — it must be confirmed for your specific address and project.

Do ductless mini-splits qualify for the rebate? +

Qualifying equipment is cold-climate air-source heat pumps from the program’s eligible equipment list — this includes many ducted systems and ductless (mini-split) models. Equipment selection and system design must follow program requirements, which is part of what we handle during planning.

Is the federal heat pump tax credit still available in 2026? +

No. The federal 25C credit (up to $2,000 for heat pumps) was repealed and does not apply to installations completed in 2026 — eligibility followed the “placed in service” date, not the contract date. That makes the Con Edison utility incentive the main money-saver for NYC heat-pump projects this year.

Can I combine Con Edison Clean Heat with NYSERDA EmPower+? +

Not on the same installation. Income-qualified households (at or below 80% of Area Median Income) may be better served by NYSERDA EmPower+, which can cover a substantial part of the project on its own. We can help you figure out which path fits your household before any work is scoped.

Incentive programs change and eligibility is property-specific. This page is general information, not tax or legal advice — always confirm current amounts and requirements for your address on the official Con Edison program page before relying on them.
