Increased use of this technology supports the state\u2019s energy goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 40 percent by 2030.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Alicia Barton, president and CEO, NYSERDA, said the state \u201ccontinues to drive broader adoption of clean technologies, including air- source heat pumps, to help lower energy bills, decrease greenhouse gas emissions and combat climate change. This funding will help make energy more affordable for New Yorkers.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">ASHPs collect heat from the exterior air, concentrate it through an outdoor compressor, and distribute it inside through an indoor room unit. Heat pumps require electricity to run, but deliver more energy than they use. In the summer, a heat pump\u2019s operation is reversed to air condition the home by moving heat from indoors to outdoors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">According to the Department of Energy, when properly installed, ASHPs can deliver one-and-a-half to three times more heat energy to a home than the electricity it consumes. High-efficiency heat pumps also dehumidify better than standard central air conditioners, resulting in less energy usage and more cooling in summer months.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><!--more-->Participating installers are eligible to receive up to $500 per program-qualified ASHP system on a first-come, first served basis, with up to $500,000 per participating installer. The program provides flexibility to participating installers to decide how best to use these incentives to help grow the ASHP portion of the business, officials said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">While the technology has advanced rapidly, allowing ASHPs to meet the heating and cooling needs of customers here in New York, a limited number of contractors deploy this solution in the market. The ASHP program will help to expand the pool of current contractors offering these products, while also helping those contractors to sell more ASHPs to meet customer needs, according to the state.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The Northeast\/Mid-Atlantic Air-Source Heat Pump Working Group has developed a cold climate air-source heat pump (ccASHP) specification intended to identify ASHPs that are best suited to heat efficiently in cold climates. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">To be eligible to receive funding, the ASHP(s) installed and identified in each incentive application must be listed on the ccASHP specification listing at the time of installation. ASHP systems installed after Aug. 1 are eligible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Additional program requirements can be found in the air source heat pump program manual.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">ASHP installers interested in participating in the program should complete and submit a participating installer application. Only participating installers are eligible to submit incentive applications.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The funding is made available through the State\u2019s Clean Energy Fund.
