As part of New York’s drive toward cleaner energy and reduced carbon emissions, ConEdison’s 2025 Clean Heat Program is offering up to $5,000 per ton in incentives to offset the cost of heat pump installations for qualifying projects. The program supports air-cooled heat pumps and, excitingly, now includes heat pump recovery chillers as well. For property owners and businesses looking to save energy costs while reducing environmental impact, this is a golden opportunity to upgrade their HVAC systems.
A heat pump is an energy-efficient system that provides both heating and cooling. Unlike conventional furnaces or air conditioners that generate heat or cool air, a heat pump transfers heat from one place to another using electricity.
The secret to a heat pump’s efficiency lies in its ability to transfer heat instead of generating it. Traditional systems burn fuel or use electrical resistance to create heating or cooling, which is energy-intensive and costly. Heat pumps leverage the heat already present in the air, requiring far less energy.
This process can save up to 50% on heating and cooling costs, making heat pumps an attractive solution for energy-conscious businesses and building owners.
The Coefficient of Performance (COP) measures the energy efficiency of heat pumps. It’s the ratio of heating or cooling output to the electrical energy input.
ConEdison’s Clean Heat Program incentivizes systems that deliver exceptional energy efficiency and carbon reduction:
Cold-Climate Air-Cooled Heat Pumps or ccHP’s are made to operate down to -4 degF outside air in heating mode. Compare ccHP’s to legacy heat pumps which switch to electric heating when outdoor air temperatures drop below 20 degF.
Heat Pump Recovery Chillers
A major addition to the program, recovery chillers use the heat generated during cooling processes for space heating or hot water, effectively reducing energy waste and costs.
By leveraging ConEdison’s incentives, businesses can reduce installation costs and accelerate the payback period on heat pump projects.
