Heat pump incentives in Westchester County
Westchester buildings outside NYC aren't covered by Local Law 97, but heat pump incentives apply the same way, and many owners pair them with cooling upgrades.
We size the system with your mechanical subcontractor, confirm the decommissioning requirements, and file the electrification application alongside any efficiency measures in the same project.
Heat Pump Incentives 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
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.

Heat Pump Incentives in Westchester County: FAQ
Can Westchester County businesses get heat pump incentives through Con Edison?
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. If your electric bill comes from Con Edison, you can apply.
Is Westchester covered by Con Edison's programs?
Yes — most of Westchester County is Con Edison electric territory, and Con Edison's Small Business and Multifamily programs apply there just as they do in NYC. A few northern communities are served by another utility.
Do NYC rules like Local Law 97 apply in Westchester?
No. Local Law 97 is a New York City law. Westchester projects follow the local municipality's building department and permit rules.
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.
