The Long Island Heat Pump Rebate, on One Page
Everything a Suffolk County homeowner needs to know about the PSEG Long Island rebate, in plain english. Read it top to bottom in a minute. Print it or save it. We confirm your exact numbers at the visit.
1. What you can get
A flat rebate, $4,000 to $7,500
One rebate per home for a whole-home heat pump. It is set by income tier, not by how big your system is. Here is the range, not a promise.
Base
$4,000
The standard rebate most Suffolk County homes start at.
Bumped up
$5,000
If your address sits in a disadvantaged community, or your household is moderate income.
Income-qualified
$7,500
If your household income qualifies you for the top tier.
We confirm your exact tier before you commit to anything. Nobody can tell you which one you land in until we check.
2. How to check yours
Two quick checks, then we confirm it
The address check
The middle tier goes to homes in a disadvantaged community. That is by census tract, not by town or zip, so a neighbor a few streets over can land differently than you. Look up your exact address on New York State's official map.

The top tier is based on household income. You can pre-check whether you may be income-qualified through Energy Finance Solutions, the state's program partner.

3. What qualifies
The rules, without the fine print
- ✓The heat pump has to become your home's primary heat source. A whole-home system, not a single supplemental unit.
- ✓You can keep your existing oil, gas, or boiler as backup for the coldest nights. Dual-fuel is fine.
- ✓Ducted runs through a dual-fuel thermostat, ductless runs through an integrated control, and your old thermostat comes off.
- ✓The equipment has to be on the NEEP cold-climate list and matched to the exact AHRI number PSEG verifies.
4. You never float the rebate
The rebate comes off your project, not your patience
You never float the rebate. With PSEG's direct-pay option, the rebate comes to us, so it comes off your project instead of you waiting on a check.
One honest note: if you have a past-due balance with PSEG, they take that out of the rebate first. We walk you through it before anything is signed.
5. Pay monthly
Start now, spread it out
We offer financing through Hearth, so a new heat pump can be a monthly payment instead of one big check. Your real, credit-safe payment comes from a quick check that will not affect your score.
Financing gets you started now, and any rebate that comes through can go toward the balance.

Straight answers
Rebate questions we hear a lot
No, and anyone who promises you a dollar amount before checking is guessing. The rebate is a flat amount set by income tier: a base amount, a middle tier for a disadvantaged community address or a moderate-income household, and a top tier for income-qualified households. We confirm your exact tier during the estimate before you commit to anything.
Yes. The rule is that the heat pump becomes your home's primary heat source. You can keep your existing oil, gas, or boiler system as a backup for the coldest nights. On a ducted system that runs through a dual-fuel thermostat, and on a ductless system through an integrated control. Your old thermostat comes off as part of the job.
No, and this trips a lot of people up. On Long Island, PSEG administers the New York State Clean Heat money, so the heat pump rebate you get is one amount, not a PSEG rebate plus a separate Clean Heat rebate stacked on top. Anyone telling you they can stack the two is not describing how it works here.
The federal 25C tax credit that used to help with heat pump installs expired on December 31, 2025. It is not available for systems installed in 2026 or later. The PSEG Long Island rebate is the bigger number anyway, and it is still active. We will update our pages if Congress brings any federal credit back.
Not if you use the direct-pay option. You can assign the rebate to us, so PSEG pays us directly and the rebate comes off your project instead of you fronting the money and waiting on a check. One honest caveat: PSEG deducts any past-due balance on your account from the rebate first.
The heat pump has to be on the NEEP cold-climate list and matched to the exact AHRI number PSEG verifies, with PSEG-approved controls so the project passes review. We are a Daikin dealer and also offer a Goodman value tier, and we pick the model that qualifies and fits your home. We handle matching the paperwork to the equipment so nothing gets kicked back.
