Address-based rebate finder
No single statewide amount
NYS Clean Heat asks for the installation address so it can identify available programs and the sponsoring utility.
The finder is the primary next step for a current location-specific result.

Model estimates
APOLLO model status for New York rebate research
New York State Electric & Gas (NYSEG) publishes a flat per-project rebate that applies to any listed APOLLO model, shown below as a concrete example. Other New York utilities — Central Hudson, Con Edison, National Grid, Orange & Rockland and RG&E — use different measures, so confirm the exact utility and address with the NYS Clean Heat finder.
| APOLLO model | Program-rated or QPL capacity | Full load, Non-DAC | Full load, DAC | Decommissioning, Non-DAC / DAC | Statewide cap |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| APOLLO 3.5 Ton / 42K BTUAP-EVI-DC-3.5T; Product ID 1070666 | 2.30 QPL tons | $6,000 | $7,000 | $10,000 / $11,000 | Utility and project specific |
| APOLLO 5 Ton / 60K BTUAP-EVI-DC-5T; Product ID 1070667 | 5.00 QPL tons | $6,000 | $7,000 | $10,000 / $11,000 | Utility and project specific |
| APOLLO 6 Ton / 72K BTUAP-EVI-DC-6T; Product ID 1070668 | 5.50 QPL tons | $6,000 | $7,000 | $10,000 / $11,000 | Utility and project specific |
Figures shown are NYSEG's published flat project rebate, not a single statewide amount — other New York utilities use different measures. "DAC" means the installation address is in a New York State-designated Disadvantaged Community, which can qualify for the higher amount. Confirm the exact utility, DAC status and current figures with the NYS Clean Heat finder and a participating contractor before purchasing equipment.
QPL capacity does not set one New York rebate
The reviewed NYS air-to-water list records the three APOLLO standard models at 2.30, 5.00 and 5.50 nominal cooling tons. Those values can help identify equipment, but the incentive still depends on the utility, address, project category and participating contractor.
Program pathways
Why New York incentives vary
NYS Clean Heat coordinates multiple utility programs. The address-based finder and participating contractor determine which current measure applies.
Participating contractor
Required for NYS Clean Heat incentives
A participating NYS Clean Heat contractor determines the utility pathway, project category and required pre-approval or documentation.
Use the official contractor directory rather than assuming any installer can submit the incentive.
Utility-specific program
Amount varies by utility and project
Central Hudson, Con Edison, National Grid, NYSEG, Orange & Rockland, RG&E and other sponsoring utilities can have different measures and incentive structures.
Address, building type, existing heating fuel and equipment capacity can all affect potential savings.

Common questions
New York air-to-water rebate FAQ
How much is the New York air-to-water heat pump rebate?
There is no single statewide amount. New York State Electric & Gas (NYSEG), for example, publishes a flat per-project rebate, but other utilities use different measures. Potential savings vary by the installation address, sponsoring electric utility, building and project type, equipment and participating contractor. Use the official NYS Clean Heat rebate finder.
Why does the APOLLO table show a NYSEG amount instead of a statewide figure?
NYSEG publishes a flat per-project rebate that applies regardless of model capacity, so it can be shown directly as an example. Other New York utilities do not publish the same flat structure, so there is still no single statewide dollar amount — use the NYS Clean Heat finder to confirm the program for a different utility.
Do I need a participating contractor?
Yes. NYS Clean Heat incentives require a participating contractor, who should confirm the utility pathway and submission requirements before installation.
Are the APOLLO standard models on the New York list?
The reviewed May 26, 2026 NYS air-to-water list includes AP-EVI-DC-3.5T, AP-EVI-DC-5T and AP-EVI-DC-6T. The live program list at the time of purchase remains controlling.
