Small Business Heating & Cooling
Small businesses and nonprofits can access clean heating and cooling solutions to help save money. Air source and ground source (geothermal) heat pumps are an effective option for heating and cooling your business.
WHAT IS A HEAT PUMP?
Heat pumps, like air conditioners or refrigerators, use electricity to move heat from a cool space to a warm space. Heat pumps can heat, cool, and dehumidify a space, and are much more efficient than electric resistance heat. Some heat pumps require a backup heat source for the coldest winter days.
GROUND-SOURCE
HEAT PUMPS
Ground source heat pumps, also known as geothermal, transfer heat to and from the ground via a subterranean pipe system that connects to a heat pump installed in your building. Since the temperature of the ground is more consistent throughout the year than air temperatures, these systems can be incredibly efficient.
AIR-SOURCE
HEAT PUMPS
Cold climate air-source heat pumps utilize heat from the outside air to warm your home, even in the middle of winter.
Ducted and ductless systems can be installed based on your building’s needs.
Commercial Incentives
Air-source and ground-source (geothermal) heat pumps are increasingly being used in commercial buildings, providing heat in winter and cooling in summer, with one system meeting all their needs.
NYSERDA’s NYS Clean Heat program offers significant rebates on heat pump technology through NYSEG and National Grid. If interested, contact a local heat pump installer. They will be able to give you a quote on the system and help you access the rebates.
Federal and state tax credits may be available, check with an accounting service for updated incentives.
