Multifamily energy retrofits in Westchester County
Westchester's affordable and market-rate multifamily buildings — especially in Yonkers, Mount Vernon and New Rochelle — use Con Edison's multifamily programs on the same terms as NYC buildings.
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 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.

What Con Edison's program rules say
AMEEP serves affordable housing — projects where 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.

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.
