NYSERDA Rebates for Smart Thermostats and Lighting: A Westchester Guide

If you’ve been putting off upgrading your thermostat or adding smart lighting, rebates may make the decision easier. Across Westchester County, NYSERDA and utility programs (including the Con Edison service area) regularly offer incentives for energy-saving equipment — and smart home upgrades frequently qualify.

What NYSERDA and utility rebates cover

Rebates typically fall into a few buckets:

• Smart thermostats — one of the most common rebated devices, since programmable climate control measurably reduces heating and cooling usage.
• Smart lighting and controls — dimmers, switches, and connected fixtures can qualify under efficiency programs, especially where they replace incandescent or inefficient bulbs.
• Heat pumps and insulation — larger incentives for bigger efficiency projects, which a smart home audit can help you plan around.

The EnergySmart Homes Rivertowns connection

The villages of Tarrytown, Irvington, and Sleepy Hollow participate in the EnergySmart Homes Rivertowns campaign, which connects residents with energy-efficiency programs and incentives. If you live in the Rivertowns, that’s a natural starting point for finding what’s currently available.

How we help

Part of our job is keeping up with what’s available. When we design a system, we look for equipment likely to qualify for current rebates, and we help you navigate the paperwork — a smart home audit is a good way to identify both the upgrades and the incentives that apply to your home.

Rebate availability and amounts change frequently. Always confirm current program details with NYSERDA or your utility before purchasing.
