- After careful review of program data, customer activity, and forecasts for the remainder of 2025, NYSERDA will be adjusting the Comfort Home incentives effective June 1, 2025.
- The Assessment Fee will increase from $200 to $300 when a blower door test is conducted as part of the assessment. If a blower door test is not completed due to an active fireplace or hazardous materials, the Assessment Fee is $200.
- The Package A incentive will increase from $1,600 to $2,500.
- The Package C incentive will decrease from $4,000 to $2,000.
The new incentives will apply for assessments and installations submitted for approval on or after June 1, 2025. The 30-day prompt submission policy applies. The customer-signed workscope must match the incentives.
Example:
May 10: Customer signs workscope with $1,600 Package A incentive
June 2: Upgrade installed
June 10: Installation submitted in NYHEP
This job qualifies for the higher Package A incentive! This installation needs to have a revised work scope customer contract that shows the higher incentive and must be signed by the homeowner and submitted in NYHEP.
After careful review of program activity, current market incentives, and to continue to focus the program’s support on load reduction work, NYSERDA will no longer provide a Comfort Home heat pump incentive effective June 1, 2025. Heat pump projects submitted by 5:00pm EDT on May 31 will be eligible for current incentives. Starting June 1, 2025, Comfort Home heat pump projects will not be available in NYHEP. Heat pump projects submitted by 5pm EDT on May 31 will be reviewed and the incentive paid if all program requirements have been met.
