As building owners and facility managers in New York City continue to grapple with rising energy costs and tightening regulations, Con Edison’s 2025 Boiler Tune-Up Efficiency Program offers a welcome opportunity. With an incentive of $2 per therm, this program not only makes improving boiler efficiency cost-effective but also provides a strategic way to offset Local Law 87 (LL87) fines while cutting operating expenses.
The program is designed to encourage building owners to perform efficiency improvements on their boilers. Boilers are often the backbone of heating systems in commercial and multi-family buildings, and even minor inefficiencies can translate into significant energy waste.
By tuning up your boiler—adjusting combustion systems, fixing leaks, cleaning heat exchangers, and improving controls—you can:
The incentive of $2 per therm makes these improvements financially viable, helping you see returns faster.
Under Local Law 87 (LL87), buildings larger than 50,000 square feet must undergo energy audits and retro-commissioning to identify energy-saving opportunities. Failure to comply with LL87 requirements can result in fines as high as $3,000 for the first year and $5,000 for subsequent years.
Boiler tune-ups are a retro-commissioning measure that not only bring your building into compliance but also reduce your overall energy use. By proactively improving your boiler’s efficiency through Con Edison’s program, you can:
This makes the program a double win—you comply with city laws while lowering operating costs.
The Boiler Tune-Up Efficiency Program is ideal for:
If your building is subject to LL87, participating in this program is particularly beneficial to avoid penalties while optimizing energy performance.
