Refrigeration incentives for Bronx grocers, bodegas & Hunts Point distributors
Hunts Point's distributors and the Bronx's supermarkets and bodegas run some of the most refrigeration-heavy operations in the city.
We survey your refrigeration, match it to Con Edison's 2026 refrigeration measures, and have certified refrigeration technicians do the work — scheduled around your business hours.
Refrigeration Incentives in the Bronx: what to know
The Bronx has one of the largest concentrations of prewar multifamily and affordable housing in the city, the Hunts Point food distribution hub, and busy retail corridors along Fordham Road, Third Avenue and 149th Street.
Con Edison supplies both electricity and gas across the Bronx, so buildings with firm Con Edison gas accounts can include gas-saving measures alongside electric ones.
Permits and local rules in the Bronx
Work in the Bronx follows NYC Department of Buildings permitting, and larger buildings are covered by Local Law 97.
Lighting in 2026
Con Edison's 2026 Small Business lighting incentives are offered only in the Jamaica Neighborhood (Southeast Queens) area, so for Bronx businesses we focus on HVAC, refrigeration, envelope and electrification measures.

Refrigeration Incentives in the Bronx: FAQ
Can Bronx businesses get refrigeration incentives through Con Edison?
Con Edison supplies both electricity and gas across the Bronx, so buildings with firm Con Edison gas accounts can include gas-saving measures alongside electric ones. If your electric bill comes from Con Edison, you can apply.
Does Con Edison serve gas in the Bronx?
Yes. Con Edison supplies electricity and gas in the Bronx, so gas-saving measures may qualify if your account is firm gas service.
Is my Bronx building affordable housing for AMEEP?
It is if at least 25% of units are, or are expected to be, occupied by households earning no more than 80% of area or State median income. Many regulated buildings qualify; we help document it.
What refrigeration upgrades does Con Edison offer incentives for?
The 2026 Small Business factsheet lists measures such as anti-condensation door heater controls, automatic door closers, evaporator fan controls, display case replacement, rack compressors and air-cooled condensers. A few others, like ECM fan motors and case lighting, are offered through the Neighborhood Program in Southeast Queens.
Will the work shut down my coolers?
Most controls and motor upgrades take a few hours per box. We schedule work around deliveries and service so product stays cold.
