What Con Edison's program rules say
Con Edison's 2026 Small Business factsheet lists HVAC measures including advanced rooftop controls, demand-controlled ventilation, EC motors, energy management systems, economizer controls, duct sealing and VFDs.
Incentives are based on the energy each measure is expected to save, so the same upgrade can be worth different amounts in different buildings.
Heat pump incentives require decommissioning the existing fossil-fuel heating system.

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.
Which HVAC upgrades qualify for Con Edison incentives?
For small businesses, the 2026 factsheet includes advanced rooftop controls, demand-controlled ventilation, economizer controls, EC motors, VFDs, energy management systems, advanced thermostats, duct sealing and kitchen ventilation controls, plus heat pumps under electrification.

Can I get incentives for replacing a broken rooftop unit?
The Small Business program generally pays toward replacing working equipment with more efficient equipment, not toward repairing or replacing failed units. If a unit is near the end of its life, it's worth looking at options before it fails.
