Worked example — how the stack actually pencils out
Income-Qualified New York City stacking math
3-ton cold-climate heat pump retrofit on a 1,600 sq ft single-family New York City home, replacing an old oil boiler. Household at 55% AMI (qualifies categorically via SNAP).
HEEHRA rebates count toward a household-wide $14,000 cap; the EmPower+ and PSEG-LI/Con Edison dollars do not. In practice, almost every income-qualified install we file ends at $0 out of pocket — sometimes with weatherization credit left over.
