Con Edison Rebates for Mini Splits
& Heat Pumps in NYC
The Con Edison Clean Heat Program can cover 30–50% of your mini split installation cost. We're a participating contractor — the rebate comes directly off your invoice. Here's how it works and how much you can save.
The short version: If you install a qualifying heat pump mini split system in NYC through a participating contractor, Con Edison will pay a significant portion of the cost through their Clean Heat Program. The rebate is deducted from your invoice — you don't wait for a check or file paperwork. We handle everything.
How Much Can You Save?
Residential (1–4 Family Homes, Individual Apartments)
Additional incentives: $4,000 bonus if you fully remove or disable your old fossil fuel heating system. Federal Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit may stack on top.
Small & Medium Business
Con Edison offers per-ton incentives for small/medium commercial heat pump installations. Rebates are calculated based on the BTU offset of the system and deducted directly from your project cost by the participating contractor.
Commercial & Industrial
Large commercial projects qualify for custom incentive rates based on MMBtu offset. The 2025 Commercial Limited Time Offer provides enhanced rates for qualifying projects. Total incentives are capped at $1 million per project or 50% of project costs, whichever is lower.
What Qualifies
- Ductless mini split heat pumps (heating and cooling)
- Central air-source heat pumps
- Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) heat pump systems
- Air-to-water heat pump water heaters
- Ground-source (geothermal) heat pumps
The system must be a heat pump — meaning it provides both heating and cooling. Cooling-only systems do not qualify. Most modern mini splits are heat pumps by default.
What Doesn't Qualify
- Cooling-only AC systems (no heating capability)
- Installations by non-participating contractors
- Equipment installed before Con Edison pre-inspection and Notice to Proceed
- NYPA electric customers
How the Process Works
1. Contact Vinco Mechanical
We assess your space, design the system, and provide a quote that includes the estimated Con Edison rebate. You see your net cost upfront.
2. We Submit the Application
As a participating contractor, we prepare and submit the Clean Heat application to Con Edison on your behalf. This includes equipment specs, scope of work, and supporting documentation.
3. Con Edison Pre-Inspection
Con Edison inspects your site to verify the existing heating system and baseline conditions. This is required before any work begins.
4. Notice to Proceed
After the pre-inspection, Con Edison issues a Preliminary Incentive Offer Letter and Notice to Proceed. You sign the offer letter. We begin installation.
5. Installation & Post-Inspection
We install the system. Con Edison conducts a post-inspection to verify the work matches the approved scope. Final incentive amount is confirmed.
6. Rebate Applied to Your Invoice
The confirmed rebate is deducted directly from your final invoice. You pay the net amount. No waiting for checks.
Important: You must work with a participating contractor to receive Clean Heat incentives. If your contractor isn't enrolled in the program, you don't get the rebate — period. Vinco Mechanical is an enrolled participating contractor. Already have a contractor you prefer? They can apply to participate and typically get onboarded within a week.
Can You Stack Incentives?
Yes. In many cases, you can combine Con Edison Clean Heat rebates with other available incentives:
- Federal tax credits — the Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit offers up to $2,000 for qualifying heat pump installations
- NYSERDA incentives — may be stackable with Con Edison rebates, subject to NYSERDA program rules
- NYC Clean Heat loans — low-interest financing options for building electrification projects
