Why Upstate Homeowners Choose IGS

One contractor for the whole job, from the heat-loss calculation to the final inspection.

Mini-Splits, Ducted, Baseboard, or Geothermal

A mini-split for one room. Whole-home ducted to replace a furnace. Air-to-water if you already have baseboard or radiant floor. Geothermal where the site suits it. We install all of them, so the recommendation isn't driven by what we happen to stock.

Built for an Upstate Winter

Everything we install is cold-climate rated to -15°F and sized against a full heat-loss calculation for your house. Undersize it and you're cold on the worst nights. Oversize it and you paid more for a system that runs worse.

Our Own Electricians

If your panel or service needs work to carry the new system, our electricians do it on the same job. That's usually the surprise line on a heat pump quote — here you see it priced up front.

Planning estimate for a cold-climate heat pump replacing oil, propane or electric baseboard. Final sizing needs a full load calculation at your home. The Clean Heat rebate only applies when the system carries 100% of your home's design heat load — a system that only helps out your existing heat gets no rebate at all. The amount also depends on your utility, your address, and whether the old fossil-fuel system is decommissioned.

What a Heat Pump Actually Costs Up Here

These are real prices from real jobs — the same numbers our estimator will put in front of you at your kitchen table. What you actually pay comes down to how much heat your house loses and which utility you're on.

From $7,000

Whole-Home Ducted, After Rebates

A 3-ton Samsung ducted system replacing oil or propane lands near $7,000 once the decommission rebate is applied. Mitsubishi runs about $8,000, Bosch around $11,500. A bigger home needs more capacity and runs higher.

Requires whole-home sizing to 100% of your design heat load, decommission of the old fossil-fuel system, and NYSEG, RG&E or National Grid territory.

From $5,800

Just One Room

One room starts near $5,800 for a cold-climate ductless system, installed. There's no rebate on a job that size — Clean Heat only pays when the heat pump carries the whole house. So $5,800 is the price, not a starting point before incentives come off.

NYSERDA Clean Heat Rebate

NYSEG, RG&E and National Grid pay up to $10,000 per single-family home when the old oil, gas or propane system is decommissioned. Some addresses qualify for more.

The rebate is paid to us, not to you. You sign the Clean Heat forms when you sign the contract, we knock the full amount off your price that day, and there's nothing for you to claim or chase. Paid to Intelligent Green Solutions LLC.

What Our NY Customers Say

Reviews from real IGS customers across Upstate NY.

★★★★★
LM
Lori M.
Mitsubishi cold-climate mini-split, replaced oil · Binghamton, NY
“We were spending a fortune on heating oil. After our Mitsubishi install, that bill went way down. The house is also more consistently comfortable — no more cold spots like before.”
★★★★★
GS
Greg & Susan F.
3-zone mini-split, new construction · Ithaca, NY
“I was worried about heat pumps in an Ithaca winter. IGS showed me the cold-climate data and the Manual J calc. Two winters in — we haven't needed the backup heat once. I'm a convert.”
★★★★★
TB
Tom B.
Ductless mini-split, older farmhouse · Bainbridge, NY
“Ductless was the right call for our older farmhouse — no ductwork needed. Each room has its own control. The crew was professional and finished in two days. We love it.”

Common Questions About Heat Pumps

What does a heat pump actually cost after rebates?

A whole-home ducted system starts near $7,000 with Samsung and about $8,000 with Mitsubishi once the NYSERDA Clean Heat decommission rebate is applied, in NYSEG, RG&E or National Grid territory. Bosch starts around $11,500. A single-room ductless system runs from about $5,800 and gets no rebate, because the whole-home rebate requires the heat pump to carry 100% of your design heat load. Your estimate puts the real number in writing.

Do I get the rebate, or does IGS?

The Clean Heat rebate is assigned to IGS and comes off your contract price up front, so you are not financing the rebate amount and waiting months for reimbursement. You sign the NY Clean Heat program documents at contract, and we file everything with your utility.

How long will these rebate amounts last?

Rebate amounts are set per program year by each utility and they move — this is not a permanent schedule. We check what your utility is paying on the day of your visit and lock that into your proposal. Which is why leaving it until spring can cost you.

Do heat pumps really work through an Upstate winter?

Yes. The equipment is cold-climate rated to heat efficiently down to -15°F, and we've got customers who've run them through five Upstate winters. We size against a full heat-loss calculation rather than a rule of thumb, which is what decides whether the system holds temperature on the coldest nights.

What if my electrical panel needs an upgrade?

Common, and it is the cost most heat pump quotes leave out. Our electricians are on staff, so any service or panel work is scoped and priced in your proposal and done on the same job — not handed to a subcontractor you have to wait on.

Can I keep my furnace, or do you replace it?

Both work. A hybrid setup keeps the existing furnace as backup for the coldest days while the heat pump carries most of the season. We also do straight furnace and boiler replacements. Note that keeping fossil-fuel heat means the decommission rebate tier does not apply, and we'll show you what that choice costs you.

Can you still get it in before winter?

That's the plan. We line up the equipment, the electricians and a crew before we give you a date, so the install itself is one to four days. The earlier you book, the more of the autumn schedule is still open.

What warranty comes with the system?

Equipment warranties typically run 10–12 years on compressors and 5–10 years on parts depending on the manufacturer. IGS carries its own workmanship warranty on the installation, and every term is written into your proposal before you sign.

Do you do geothermal as well?

Yes. Geothermal is right on some properties and wrong on others, and it comes down to your land and site access. If it is worth pricing at your place, we'll scope it next to the air-source option so you can compare.
