How it works
How to claim your rebates in Monroe County.
- 1
Get a qualifying system installed
Have a qualifying geothermal or cold-climate heat pump system installed by a licensed NATE-certified contractor. For NYS Clean Heat, the contractor must be a participating contractor.
- 2
Collect your documentation
Gather the contractor invoice showing installed system cost, model numbers, and efficiency ratings. For Federal 25D, you also need the Manufacturer's Certification Statement (the contractor provides this).
- 3
Claim the Federal 25D credit
File IRS Form 5695 (Residential Energy Credits) with your federal tax return. Enter the full installed system cost — the 30% credit applies to equipment and installation labor. No cap. Credit is non-refundable but can carry forward.
- 4
Submit the NYS Clean Heat rebate
Your 4th Gen Mechanical contractor submits the NYS Clean Heat rebate application to RG&E on your behalf. Rebate checks typically arrive 8-12 weeks after submission. You do not need to file anything separately.
- 5
Apply for NYSERDA EmPower+ if income-eligible
If your household income is at or below 80% of Monroe County area median income (~$62,000 for a 4-person household), apply to NYSERDA EmPower+ before or alongside your contractor selection. Applications open at nyserda.ny.gov/empower.
