What you can stack as a moderate-income Long Island household
- $4,000 PSEG-LI heat pump rebate (market tier — does not require IQ paperwork)
- NYSERDA EmPower+ Tier 3: 50% of project cost up to $7,000
- Federal HEEHRA at 50% rebate level (up to $4,000 heat pump)
- National Grid furnace/boiler rebates: $800 – $1,500
- No-cost home energy audit confirms tier and Manual J sizing
Moderate-income tier is verified once via NYSERDA — same audit unlocks both EmPower+ and HEEHRA.

Worked example — how the stack actually pencils out
Moderate-Income Long Island stacking math
3-ton air-source heat pump on a 1,800 sq ft Long Island colonial replacing an aging gas furnace + central AC. Household at 72% AMI.
EmPower+ Tier 3 reimburses 50% of YOUR share (not 50% of project) — so when HEEHRA + the utility rebate already pay most of the bill, Tier 3 ends up capped by what's left rather than the $7k ceiling. The wizard models this in the correct order.
