One system for January and July
Modern cold-climate heat pumps hold their output in real New York winters, cool all summer, and Con Edison is paying homeowners to install them. We'll tell you honestly whether your house is a good candidate.
The straight version
Who should get a heat pump — and who shouldn’t
You'll hear two stories about heat pumps. Salesmen say they're free money; skeptics say they die in the cold. Both are out of date. The current generation of cold-climate units heats effectively well below zero, and on Staten Island's coldest week that's plenty. The honest questions are about your house: its electric service, its insulation, and what you're heating with today.
Replacing electric baseboard or an old oil system? A heat pump is usually a clear win. Sitting on a healthy gas boiler? The math is closer, and we'll show it to you rather than talk around it. A lot of our customers land on a hybrid: keep the boiler, add a heat pump for shoulder seasons and summer cooling in one shot.
What we install
- Ducted heat pumps that replace a furnace-and-condenser pair on existing ductwork
- Ductless and multi-zone systems for houses without ducts — see mini splits
- Hybrid setups pairing a heat pump with your existing boiler or furnace
About the rebates
Con Edison's NYS Clean Heat program offers substantial rebates on qualifying installations — the kind of money that changes the decision, especially in designated disadvantaged-community tracts where the caps run higher. Program rules and amounts shift, so we don't print a number that will be wrong by the time you call. We put the current rebate into your free written estimate, line-itemed, so you see the real out-of-pocket before you commit.
