Assessing the Opportunity for Clean Energy

Access free screenings, reduce your energy bills, and increase comfort levels in your building with Flexible Technical Assistance Clean Heating & Cooling (CHC) Screenings

Assessing the Opportunity for Clean Energy

The Clean Energy Action Plan provides relief for businesses and residents affected by a natural gas constraint. As part of this plan, the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) is offering Clean Heating and Cooling Screenings for customers affected by natural gas constraints. Eligible customers can access free screenings to assess the potential and benefits of installing clean, efficient alternatives to natural gas for heating and cooling their buildings.

Benefits of Clean Heating and Cooling

Ground and air source heat pumps and variable refrigerant flow (VRF) systems are smart, efficient, healthy options for buildings of all types and sizes.

  • WARMER. Spread warmth more efficiently than conventional oil, propane, or electric resistance heating systems.
  • COOLER. Cool more efficiently during high summer temperatures.
  • COMFORT. Provide quiet, even heating and cooling throughout your building.
  • EASIER. Clean heating and cooling systems last longer than conventional HVAC systems and require minimal maintenance.
  • CLEANER, HEALTHIER, AND SAFER. No combustion of fossil fuels, fuel storage, or carbon monoxide emissions.

Eligibility Requirements 

Your building must be located in an area affected by natural gas constraints, and you must currently pay the System Benefits Charge (noted on your electric bill).

Screening Results

You will receive a screening report detailing the estimated impact of installing clean heating and cooling systems in your building, including:

  • Energy consumption and costs
  • Capital costs
  • Greenhouse gas emissions
  • Financial metrics (investment payback, net present value)
