As of Jan. 1, 2026, rebates on natural gas heating equipment, kitchen equipment, refrigeration controls, and most lighting upgrades will no longer be available. These changes are part of New York state’s transition to cleaner, more sustainable energy solutions.

Whether you own a restaurant or manage a food service facility, equipment upgrades can save energy and money.

Outfitting a commercial kitchen with a suite of energy efficiency equipment that has earned an ENERGY STAR® rating can save you up to $5,300 a year*.

Who it’s for

Energy savings opportunities exist in almost any electric or natural gas operated food service operation within Central Hudson’s service territory.

How it works

Decide which equipment you want to replace, contact us to determine eligibility, and work with a participating contractor on installation. When the job is complete, your contractor will send us the required paperwork, and you’ll receive your rebates in 5 to 7 weeks.
