This free calculator is provided as a reference tool and is intended to estimate costs and savings based on current
rates and customer supplied inputs for a full heating load installation. Actual costs and savings may vary and are highly dependent on a range of factors
including, but not limited to: vendor, home construction, terrain composition, incentive eligibility,
age of existing system, efficiency of selected system, etc.
This tool uses simplified assumptions based on information from the following sources:
Heat Pumps Potential for Energy Savings in New York State – NYSERDA Report,
Gas Conversion Customer Proposals (Adjusted from Trade Ally Estimates),
Ground Source Heat Pump Rebate – NYSERDA,
Residential Renewable Energy Tax Credit – ENERGY.GOV,
