NYACK CLEAN HEAT CHALLENGE
A Nyack Climate Smart Heat Pump Campaign
Make a plan before it breaks
Don’t wait until your boiler or hot water heater breaks down. Get to know about equipment, rebates and incentives to install heat pumps for heating, cooling, and hot water, so you are prepared to act before an emergency strikes.
Cold-climate heat pumps are a smart, efficient, and environmentally friendly option to keep your home comfortable all year long.
Check out the resources here and contact us if you need some guidance.
Let us know if you have installed a heat pump or heat pump hot water heater lately or plan to do so soon.
Your heat pump installation for hot water or heating and cooling will help the Village qualify for a NYSERDA grant of up to $35,000. These funds will be reinvested into climate actions to reduce the Village’s carbon emissions.
