What Con Edison's program rules say
For small businesses, heat pump incentives require decommissioning the existing fossil-fuel heating system, and per-project amounts scale with conditioned floor area.
Small Business custom electrification incentives (full-building heating and hot water) are limited to 50% of project cost or $400,000, whichever is lower.
Multifamily electrification projects fall under the same per-project caps: 85% of cost for affordable (AMEEP) and 70% for market-rate buildings.

Con Edison runs a Neighborhood Program in Southeast Queens for properties served by its Jamaica electric network. Eligible small businesses and multifamily buildings may receive bonus incentives on top of the base programs, and the program confirms eligibility against each account.
Which neighborhoods are in Con Edison's Southeast Queens Neighborhood Program?
Con Edison lists Bellerose, Briarwood, Brookville, Cambria Heights, Floral Park, Hollis, Jamaica, Jamaica Estates, Laurelton, Queens Village, Rosedale, South Jamaica, St. Albans and the JFK area — but eligibility depends on whether the property is served by the qualifying electric network.
Is the Neighborhood Program bonus guaranteed if I'm in Jamaica?
No. A ZIP code only tells us a property might qualify. Con Edison confirms eligibility against the account and the electric network serving it, and incentives can't exceed the total project cost.
How long is the Neighborhood Program available?
Con Edison has confirmed it for 2026. Program terms can change each year, so we check the current terms before every proposal.
Do I have to remove my boiler or furnace to get heat pump incentives?
For Con Edison's Small Business heat pump incentives, yes — the existing fossil-fuel heating system must be decommissioned. Multifamily programs have their own rules for full-load heat pumps; we walk you through them for your building.
Are heat pumps a good fit for older NYC buildings?
Often, yes. Cold-climate air-source heat pumps heat effectively in New York winters, and ductless systems avoid opening walls. The walkthrough tells us whether your electrical service can carry the load.
