Central Hudson Gas & Electric (Gas) - Commercial Energy Efficiency Program

Central Hudson's gas equipment rebates end January 1, 2026, so commercial customers interested in natural gas conversion incentives should act quickly. The utility previously offered rebates on water heaters, furnaces, boilers, and controls, but customers are now encouraged to explore heat pump technology as a cleaner alternative with available incentives.

Central Hudson will discontinue rebates on natural gas heating equipment starting January 1, 2026, as part of New York State's transition to cleaner energy. Contractors should inform commercial clients considering gas conversions of this deadline and pivot customer conversations toward heat pump solutions, which the utility actively promotes with available rebates.

This rebate program for commercial natural gas equipment (water heaters, furnaces, boilers, thermostats, building controls) is being phased out effective January 1, 2026, in alignment with New York State energy policy priorities. The program served commercial, nonprofit, school, and government sectors; program mechanics and remaining budget allocation should be managed through the wind-down period, with marketing resources redirected to heat pump incentive programs.
