NYSERDA is looking to onboard additional contractors to complete projects associated with the NYS Healthy Homes Value-Based Payment Pilot. The Pilot seeks to deliver residential healthy homes interventions to 500 households in targeted regions of New York State. Targeted regions include the following: all New York City Boroughs; Onondaga, Chautauqua, Erie, and Niagara counties. For the purposes of this Pilot, a healthy homes intervention is comprised of the following dwelling-based services: energy efficiency/weatherization measures, environmental trigger reduction measures, and home injury prevention measures. Additional details about the Pilot and contractor participation expectations can be found online.

Moderate Income Heat Pump Incentive Study

Thank you for participating in the Moderate-Income Air Source Heat Pump Incentive Study

Complete the Moderate Income ASHP Incentive Study webform prior to making a recommendation to a qualified customer for residential heating or cooling equipment upgrades or an Air Source Heat Pump. Results from this form will be shared with the NYSERDA team to determine eligibility for a reduced-cost full system Air Source Heat Pump. Qualified customers will receive an additional incentive for upfront installation costs of either $1,000 or $3,000. After completion of the survey form, both the contractor and customer will be notified of the incentive amount via email within two business days.  All incentives are subject to NYSERDA Assisted Home Performance (AHP) income verification (Tier 3) and all projects must be completed through NYSERDA AHP in order to be qualified for the incentive. Funds will be disbursed to contractors when AHP deems the project as completed. Note that this incentive is offered in addition to AHP incentives only and must be for an ASHP system that covers 100% of the heating load. Refer to the PowerPoint slides for other high level details about the incentive.
