Get a rebate on new, natural gas heating equipment
The Home Energy SavingsCentral Program offers rebates of up to $700 on energy efficient heating equipment. This is for residential electric customers who upgrade their heating systems with specific types of energy efficient equipment, such as natural gas furnaces and boilers.

You must use a SavingsCentral Trade Ally to qualify for SavingsCentral rebates. Trade Allies are listed here. Please use this list to get quotes for the installation of energy efficient equipment at your home.

Rebate levels are based on energy efficiency, and we use a thermal efficiency measure of combustion equipment called the annual fuel utilization efficiency (AFUE) rating. The AFUE needs to be at least 90 to qualify for a rebate.

Type of equipment	Minimum performance	Rebate
Furnace	AFUE>=90%	$140
Furnace	AFUE>=92%	$140
Furnace	AFUE>=92% with ECM fan	$280
Furnace	AFUE>=94% with ECM fan	$420
Furnace	AFUE>=95% with ECM fan	$420
Water Boiler	AFUE>=85%	$350
Water Boiler	AFUE>=90%	$700
Steam Boiler	AFUE>=82%	$350
Boiler Reset Control	Listed on sales receipt	$70
Indirect Water Heater	Listed on sales receipt	$210
Programmable Thermostat	Listed on sales receipt	$18

An ECM is an electronically commutated DC motor. There is a lot less power needed to operate this when compared to an AC motor, and this type of motor usually features built-in processors that allow it to be programmed.

Home Sealing

home sealing program. Incentives of up to $600 are available for residential customers to professionally seal leaky homes after having an eligible SavingsCentral Trade Ally perform blower door and duct blaster testing.

An online energy audit for your home. This home Energy Saver^TM calculator helps consumers identify the best ways to save energy in their homes, and find the resources to make the savings happen. This calculator was the first Internet-based tool for calculating energy use in residential buildings. Since each home is unique, an in-home audit by a BPI-certified contractor is the best way to find ways to save. But this calculator has proven to be helpful for many users. Individual results will vary. The project has been sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy, as part of the national ENERGY STAR Program for improving energy efficiency in homes, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the US Department of Housing and Urban Development's PATH program, and other agencies and cooperatives.

Get a full energy audit at your home with a BPI-certified contractor through the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) Home Performance with ENERGY STAR® program. Please note that NYSERDA does not do the assessment; NYSERDA will help you get a home energy assessment.
