PSEG Long Island & NYSERDA
Explore heating, hot water and home-efficiency improvements. PSEG equipment rebates and NYSERDA weatherization or assessment assistance have separate requirements and approvals.
$4,000 standard · higher rates for eligible homes
A heat pump moves heat instead of burning fuel. The same system can heat your home in winter and cool it in summer. Central ducted and multi-zone ductless designs can serve the whole home, but the rebate depends on what the installation actually replaces—not simply the brand or number of outdoor units.

Up to $1,200 · eligible equipment
A heat pump water heater draws warmth from the air around it to heat a storage tank. It is a water-heating upgrade—not a whole-home heating system. Its location, air volume, electrical supply and condensate drainage matter as much as the model you choose.

Separate NYSERDA EmPower+ assistance
Weatherization reduces heat escaping through the building envelope. Air sealing addresses drafts and leakage; insulation slows heat transfer. These improvements can make rooms more comfortable and reduce the heating load used to size a new heat pump. They are not simply an extra HVAC coupon.

No-cost NYSERDA assessment pathways
A home energy assessment looks at the building as a system: insulation, air leakage, heating, cooling and other energy uses. It can help distinguish an equipment problem from a building-envelope problem and establish a practical order for improvements. It is not the same as an HVAC repair diagnostic or a promise of a rebate.
Explore home energy assessmentsWeatherization and assessment programs use their own approved providers; these are not Home+ insulation or audit services. Separate assistance is not added to your equipment rebate total.
PSEG Long Island pays these rebates through its Home Comfort program for homes with PSEG Long Island electric service: all of Nassau County, all of Suffolk County and the Rockaways. The amount depends on the system, the home, household income and, for some homes, the address.
| Who | What qualifies | Rebate |
|---|---|---|
| Most homes (standard rate) | Whole-house heat pump in a 1-4 family home | $4,000 |
| Moderate household income | Same system, income under the moderate limit | $5,000 |
| State Disadvantaged Community | Same system, address in a state Disadvantaged Community | $5,000 |
| Low household income | Same system, income under the low limit | $7,500 |
| Keeping the old heat as backup | Furnace or boiler stays on integrated controls that run the heat pump first | Same rate as above |
| Apartments and condos | In-unit heat pump in an existing building, per apartment | $4,000 ($5,000 in a Disadvantaged Community) |
| Heat pump water heater | ENERGY STAR model, participating contractor | Up to $1,200 |
Rates checked 2026-10-28 on PSEG Long Island's heat pump rebate page, its water heater page and NYSERDA's income guidelines. The program makes the final decision on every rebate, and rates can change.
A home gets the whole-house heat pump rebate when all of these are true:
PSEG Long Island cares that the heat pump heats the whole house, not which kind of system does it. In Nassau, Suffolk and the Rockaways that usually means one of two set-ups.
Homes with central AC or a furnace usually have ducts a central heat pump can use. Homes heated by a boiler with radiators or baseboard usually go ductless, with units in each area of the house.
For homes with ductwork, usually from a furnace or central AC. The heat pump uses the same ducts for heat and cooling. If the ducts are old or undersized, that shows up in the load calculation.
For homes with radiators, baseboard or no ducts. Wall or ceiling units in each area connect to one or more outdoor units. It qualifies when every part of the house is heated, not one or two rooms.
A mini-split for one or two rooms, such as an addition, attic or sunroom, does not qualify. The same equipment does qualify when it is part of a system that heats the whole house.
There is no utility rebate right now for a new gas furnace, gas boiler or central AC on Long Island. The federal 25C and 25D tax credits also ended after December 31, 2025. The PSEG Long Island heat pump rebate is the largest incentive left for most Long Island homes.
PSEG Long Island pays $5,000 when household income is under the moderate limit and $7,500 when it is under the low limit. Homes in a state Disadvantaged Community get at least $5,000. Disadvantaged Community status is set by census tract, so we confirm it from the street address, not the ZIP.
The 2026 limits for Nassau and Suffolk, by the number of people in the home:
| People in the home | Low income: up to | Moderate income: up to |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | $69,263 | $92,350 |
| 2 | $79,163 | $105,550 |
| 3 | $89,063 | $118,750 |
| 4 | $98,925 | $131,900 |
| 5 | $106,875 | $142,500 |
| 6 | $114,788 | $153,050 |
| 7 | $122,700 | $163,600 |
| 8 | $130,613 | $174,150 |

PSEG Long Island also pays up to $1,200 for an ENERGY STAR heat pump water heater installed by a participating contractor. It is a separate rebate from the heat pump for the house, so a home can get both.
A heat pump water heater pulls heat from the air around it, so it needs some room and works best in a basement or garage. We check the space at the estimate. More on the water heater installation page.
A central ducted heat pump on Long Island usually runs $8,900 to $26,000 before rebates, depending on the size of the home, the ductwork and the equipment. At the standard $4,000 rate that is about $4,900 to $22,000 after the rebate, and less at the income-qualified rates.
These are ranges, not quotes. Your estimate is free and shows the price with the rebate taken into account. You can also spread the rest over equal monthly payments with Home+ financing.
Home+ is a PSEG Long Island participating contractor. Here is what we do and what you do:
01
We look at the home, run the heating load calculation and show you whole-house options.
02
We check which rate applies: standard, moderate income, low income or Disadvantaged Community.
03
Our crew installs the system and sets up integrated controls if your old heat stays as backup.
04
We file the rebate application with PSEG Long Island. You send income documents only if a higher rate applies.
PSEG Long Island's 2026 program covers systems installed by December 31, 2026. PSEG can change its rates for the new year, so the calculator always shows the rate in effect on the day you use it.
Heat pumps work through a Long Island winter, so there is no need to wait for spring. Many homeowners switch when an old boiler or furnace starts needing repairs, and keep it as backup on integrated controls for the first winter.
The rates are the same across the PSEG Long Island service area. Our county pages list every town we serve and the local details.
