Heat pump pricing on Long Island spans a wide range because "heat pump" covers everything from a single-room mini-split to a whole-home ducted system. Most single-zone installs land between $5,000 and $8,500; whole-home projects typically run $18,000–35,000 before incentives.
The incentive picture changed in 2026: the federal 25C tax credit expired at the end of 2025, but New York's Clean Heat program is funded through 2030 and pays $2,500–12,000 on qualifying air-source installs through your electric utility — and income-qualified households can stack up to $8,000 more through NYSERDA programs. Shoreline Air HVAC quotes your net number and files all the paperwork.
| Line item | Typical range | What drives it |
|---|---|---|
| Single-zone ductless mini-split | $5,000–8,500 | One outdoor unit, one indoor head — the right answer for a problem room, addition, or converted space. |
| Multi-zone ductless (3–5 heads) | $14,000–28,000 | Whole-home comfort without ductwork. Head count, line-set runs, and cold-climate spec drive the range. |
| Ducted whole-home system | $18,000–35,000 | Replaces central AC and heating in one system. Existing duct condition matters — leaky ducts get sealed or the efficiency is fiction. |
| Electrical work (when needed) | $1,500–5,000 | Panel upgrades or dedicated circuits on older homes — identified in the load calculation, never a surprise later. |
| NYS Clean Heat rebate | −$2,500 to −$12,000 | Paid through your electric utility; amount depends on system type, whether it displaces fossil heat, and program category. We file it. |

Oil and propane conversions have the strongest economics — commonly cutting annual heating costs by a third or more — and often qualify for the larger rebate tiers.
Usable existing ductwork lowers cost; no ductwork points to mini-splits; large homes often land on a hybrid with the furnace as deep-cold backup.
Models rated for full output at 5°F cost more than builder-grade units — and are the difference between a system that carries a Northeast January and one that does not.
NYSERDA EmPower+ and the federally funded HEAR rebates add up to $8,000 for eligible households on top of Clean Heat — worth checking before any quote is signed.
Single-zone mini-splits run $5,000–8,500 installed; multi-zone systems $14,000–28,000; whole-home ducted systems $18,000–35,000 — all before NYS Clean Heat rebates of $2,500–12,000. We quote the net number.
No — the 25C federal credit (up to $2,000) expired December 31, 2025. But New York's Clean Heat utility rebates continue through 2030 and are typically worth more than the federal credit was, especially on fossil-fuel conversions.
For homes converting from oil or propane, heating costs commonly drop by a third or more. Versus natural gas the math is closer and depends on electric rates — we run your actual numbers in the load calculation rather than quoting averages.
Not always. Sound ducts get sealed and reused; homes without ducts go ductless. Duct condition is part of the assessment and priced in the written quote.
Yes — financing is available, and NYSERDA offers reduced-rate energy loans for qualifying efficiency projects. The rebate comes off before financing, so you finance the net.
