Additional Incentive ending November 1, 2024

On November 1, 2024, the $5,000 additional heat pump incentive will no longer be available. Projects must be submitted to the workflow submission step in NYHEP by October 31, 2024, to be eligible for this incentive. Projects submitted after October 31st will still be eligible for EmPower+ and additional IRA HEAR funding.

Change to the Acknowledgement Form Heat Pump Installation

NYSERDA has made edits to the Acknowledgement Form Heat Pump Installation, found in Section 8 of the Program Manual,  to clarify what utility incentives are not available for EmPower+ projects. Contractors should use this version of the form moving forward.

Heat Pump Commissioning Checklist

If a manufacturer’s commissioning checklist is not available for the equipment being installed, a contractor may use the NYS Clean Heat ASHP Commissioning Checklist when submitting documents to final project submission.

Updated Test Out Form

Updates to the test-out form are now live in NYHEP, which include IRA incentive estimates and utility bill savings estimates
