National Grid NY heat pump rebate is $4,000 to $14,000 by tier in the program manual; gas rebates closed
Published . Facts read on the official source on .
Nine National Grid pages and the Clean Heat manual read Oct. 8: heat pump $4,000–$14,000 in eight cells, geothermal $18,000–$28,000 (page: $25,000); gas rebates closed.
On October 8, 2026 we read in full nine National Grid residential pages for New York and the NYS Clean Heat Statewide Program Manual, version 3 of September 1, 2026, and published a National Grid page. National Grid’s own heat pump page says “up to $12,000” and “up to $25,000” and shows its incentive tiers only as images. The manual, section 2.2.5, gives the cells as text: for a single-family home in National Grid’s Upstate electric territory, a cold-climate air-source heat pump earns $4,000, $7,000 with the old system decommissioned, $8,000 or $12,000 at the Weatherized Tier, and $6,000 to $14,000 in a Disadvantaged Community; apartments and homes under 1,000 square feet get half. Geothermal retrofits earn $18,000 to $28,000 — no cell reads $25,000, so the page and the manual disagree and we publish both, dated.
The gas side is closed. National Grid’s Gas Heating & Water Heating page says the Gas Prescriptive Rebate (HEHE) program “is no longer accepting applications” and the in-store midstream rebates are “no longer available,” with no dates; the Long Island page adds that heat pump incentives downstate come through Con Edison and PSEG. Total Home Comfort, the insulation program the manual names as National Grid’s past-participation route into the Weatherized Tier, “is not accepting new applications.” A heat pump water heater still earns $1,250; a flyer dated August 2025 adds 25% and a bonus up to $5,000 for gas-heated homes in listed zip codes of fourteen Upstate counties.
Three corrections came out of the reading: the $25,000 geothermal figure against the manual, the $20 thermostat figure in the ConnectedSolutions page’s own search description against its $50 table, and a search engine’s AI answer that gives the thermostat “up to $75” and geothermal “about $9,200.” One undated entry joins the deadlines page for the closed gas rebates.
What this means for you
If you are a National Grid electric customer Upstate pricing a heat pump, the rebate is one cell of an eight-cell table, not an average: check the Disadvantaged Community map and whether the home can reach the Weatherized Tier before the first quote, because together they move a single-family job from $4,000 to $14,000, and ask whether your zip code is on the Priority Electrification list. Downstate gas customers get their heat pump rebate from Con Edison or PSEG Long Island. There is no furnace or boiler rebate to wait for.
