The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) sought to accelerate the adoption of ground source heat pump (GSHP) systems from 2017 through 2019 because thermal energy used in the residential and commercial sectors for space heating and cooling and hot water accounts for 37% of net energy consumption and 32% of all combustion-based greenhouse gas emissions in New York State. In 2017, clean heating and cooling (CH&C) technologies, in general, and GSHP systems in particular, occupy a niche position in New York State, penetrating less than 1% of the heating and cooling market. The now closed GSHP Rebate Program (the “Program”), that provided incentives for the installation of GSHP systems, was allocated this funding by the New York Public Service Commission through the Clean Energy Fund. Projects comprising small-scale GSHP systems (≤ 10 AHRI rated cooling tons) were eligible for a Rebate of $1,500 per cooling ton; and Projects comprising large-scale GSHP systems (> 10 AHRI rated cooling tons) were eligible for a Rebate of $1,200 per cooling ton, subject to certain incentive caps.

The NYSERDA-supported Ground Source Heat Pump Projects: 2017-2019 dataset contains characteristics about each GSHP project that participated in the NYSERDA GSHP Rebate Program. All GSHP projects must have an Application Submitted Date prior to 1/1/2020 to be considered NYSERDA-supported.
