Description
The Appliance Upgrade Program, administered by NYSERDA under the U.S. Department of Energy’s Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates (HEAR) initiative, offers substantial rebates to New York State households earning less than 150% of the area median income (AMI) for the purchase and installation of ENERGY STAR-certified heat pump clothes dryers and necessary electrical upgrades. The program is designed to build a robust network of participating retailers and contractors who deliver rebates at the point of sale and during installation, making energy-efficient home upgrades more accessible to low- and moderate-income residents across New York State. Enrollment is open to both retailers and contractors interested in participating in the delivery of these rebates and upgrades.
