Multifamily energy retrofits in Staten Island
Staten Island's garden-apartment and North Shore multifamily buildings are often smaller (under 50 units), which suits targeted projects: boiler controls, common areas and hot water.
Clean Ridge scopes the building, prepares the application and coordinates licensed installers — from common-area and boiler-room upgrades to whole-building heat pump projects.
Multifamily Energy Retrofits in Staten Island: what to know
Staten Island's commercial customers are mostly strip-mall retail, restaurants, auto shops, medical offices and light industrial space, with garden apartments and smaller multifamily buildings on the North Shore.
Con Edison supplies electricity across Staten Island; gas is generally supplied by National Grid, so Con Edison's incentives here focus on electric measures.

Under the 2026 program manual, AMEEP (affordable) project incentives are capped at 85% of project cost and market-rate projects at 70%, so the owner always carries a share.

2026 multifamily projects had to be install-complete by Oct 30, 2026. New projects will most likely follow 2027 program rules and rates, which we confirm before quoting.
