What proof do I need for the $7,500 PSEG-LI income-qualified heat pump rebate?

You qualify automatically if your household receives HEAP, SNAP, TANF, SSI, or Medicaid — just a benefits letter or recent statement. Otherwise, NYSERDA verifies via prior-year tax return or 2 months of paystubs against HUD's Long Island AMI table (60% AMI for the income-qualified tier). We handle the upload during your free home energy audit — no separate application on your end.

Can I stack the $7,500 PSEG-LI rebate with EmPower+ Tier 1 AND federal HEEHRA on the same install?

Yes — all three are separately funded and explicitly stackable on income-qualified projects. PSEG-LI pays the heat pump rebate, EmPower+ Tier 1 covers weatherization and a share of the install (up to $14,000), and HEEHRA's point-of-sale discount fills the remaining gap up to the $14,000 household cap. The wizard above stacks them in the correct order so nothing is double-counted.

I rent or live in a co-op — can I still get the income-qualified rebate?

Renters cannot apply directly — the property owner is the applicant on every program here. For co-op or condo owners, NYC Accelerator's multifamily affordable track and NYSERDA Multifamily Affordable Solutions replace EmPower+ Tier 1 — the math is different and the building's HDFC or LMI status drives eligibility, not your individual AMI.

Worked example — how the stack actually pencils out

Income-Qualified Long Island stacking math

3-ton cold-climate heat pump retrofit on a 1,600 sq ft single-family Long Island home, replacing an old oil boiler. Household at 55% AMI (qualifies categorically via SNAP).

PSEG-LI Home Comfort Plus heat pump rebate (flat, IQ tier)$7,500

NYSERDA EmPower+ Tier 1 (whole-home, weatherization + HVAC)$14,000

Federal HEEHRA heat pump portion (point-of-sale)$8,000

Estimated turnkey project cost (system + install + electrical)−$22,500

Estimated out-of-pocket after stack$0 (often a credit balance after stacking)

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.
