Con Edison small business rebates in Westchester County
Westchester businesses use the same Con Edison Small Business & Nonprofit program as New York City — the eligibility rules are identical; only the permitting office changes.
Clean Ridge Energy handles the parts that slow owners down: the walkthrough, the scope, the program paperwork and the installation schedule. You see the estimated incentive and your share of the cost in writing before any work starts.
Small Business Rebates in Westchester County: what to know
Westchester's downtowns — Yonkers, Mount Vernon, New Rochelle, White Plains, Port Chester — have dense storefront retail, restaurants and professional offices, along with large stocks of multifamily housing, including affordable buildings.
Westchester is Con Edison territory too: Con Edison supplies electricity to most of the county and gas to much of it. A few northern communities are served by another utility, so check the name on your bill.
Permits and local rules in Westchester County
Westchester work is permitted through each city, town or village building department rather than NYC's Department of Buildings, and NYC's Local Law 97 does not apply. Westchester County licenses home improvement contractors separately from NYC.
Lighting in 2026
Con Edison's 2026 Small Business lighting incentives are offered only in the Jamaica Neighborhood (Southeast Queens) area, so for Westchester County businesses we focus on HVAC, refrigeration, envelope and electrification measures.

What Con Edison's program rules say
Eligibility is for Con Edison commercial customers in service classes 2, 9 or 51 with an average peak demand under 300 kW over a rolling 12 months. Larger accounts go through Con Edison's Commercial & Industrial program.
Incentives are for replacing existing, working equipment with qualifying efficient equipment — not for repairs or for equipment that has already failed.
In 2026, Small Business lighting incentives are offered only through the Neighborhood Program in the Jamaica / Southeast Queens area.
