Incentive Amounts
The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) offers $1,500 incentives to New York State homeowners to replace an existing wood or pellet appliance with a 2.0 gram per hour or less pellet appliance in their primary residence. Income-qualified residents are eligible for $2,500 incentives. Homeowners also may be eligible for loan interest loans to help cover project costs. NYSERDA also offers homeowners up to $10,000 to replace an old indoor or outdoor wood boiler with a qualifying advanced cordwood boiler (see here for more details).

Interested homeowners must select a participating contractor to perform the replacement and recycling of the old device. The participating contractor conducts a pre-qualifying visit and submit the application on the homeowner’s behalf.
