Estimate assumes a cold-climate ductless mini-split sized to your whole home, replacing or supplementing oil/propane/electric baseboard. Final sizing requires a full ACCA Manual J load calculation at your home. The NYSERDA Clean Heat rebate is paid only when the heat pump covers 100% of your Manual J design heat load — a single-room system receives none — and the amount then depends on utility, Disadvantaged-Community status, and whether fossil-fuel decommission applies.

NYSERDA Clean Heat Rebates

Through NYSERDA's Clean Heat program, eligible homeowners can receive rebates on qualifying cold-climate heat pump installations. Amounts vary by utility territory, home size, and whether you decommission existing fossil-fuel systems. We identify exactly what you qualify for in your written proposal.

Right-Sized From a Real Manual J — Not a Guess

We perform an ACCA Manual J load calculation before recommending equipment. Oversized mini-splits short-cycle, undersized ones run constantly — both shorten equipment life. We size it right the first time, in writing.

How Mini-Split Heat Pumps Saves You Money

From $5,800

Single-Room Mini-Split Pricing

One room starts near $5,800 for a cold-climate ductless system, installed. That is the price, not a starting point before incentives come off — Clean Heat only pays when the heat pump carries the whole house, so a single-zone job gets no rebate. Multi-zone and whole-home configurations price higher and can qualify. Final price comes from an in-home assessment — written, line-itemized, no surprises.

A one-room system is priced as installed. It is not eligible for the whole-home NYSERDA Clean Heat rebate, which requires the heat pump to cover 100% of your Manual J design heat load.

EFS Financing

Low or No Money Down

We finance through EFS. Low or no money down if your credit qualifies — 540 is the minimum score. Your rate and term come back from the credit check, and you'll see the exact monthly payment before you sign anything.

EFS Finance — qualifying credit required, terms vary
$3,000 – $10,000+

NYSERDA Clean Heat Rebates

Utility rebates range based on your utility territory, home size, and whether you decommission existing fossil-fuel systems.

Decommission Oil or Gas

Retiring your oil or gas system and switching fully to heat pump can unlock higher rebate tiers. Disadvantaged Community zones qualify for additional incentives. Program amounts vary by utility territory.

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 Mini-Split Heat Pumps

What does a mini-split cost?

A single-room ductless system starts near $5,800 installed. A one-room job earns no Clean Heat rebate — the whole-home rebate requires the heat pump to carry 100% of your Manual J design heat load — so $5,800 is the price, not a pre-incentive figure. Multi-zone and whole-home configurations price higher on load, zone count, and equipment, and can qualify for the rebate. EFS financing is available for qualified homeowners, with low or no money down; rates depend on credit score (540 minimum) and actual term and rate depend on credit review. Final price comes from an in-home assessment, written and line-itemized.

Do mini-splits work in cold New York winters?

Modern cold-climate mini-splits are rated to heat efficiently at outdoor temperatures down to -15°F. IGS only installs equipment proven in Upstate NY — we've tested these systems through multiple winters with real customer data.

Can I keep my existing furnace as backup?

Yes — a hybrid configuration is common. The mini-split handles most heating loads; the existing furnace provides backup on the coldest days. We'll design what's right for your home, not what's easiest to install.

What rebates are available for mini-splits in New York?

NYSERDA's Clean Heat program provides rebates for qualifying cold-climate installations, but only when the heat pump carries 100% of your home's Manual J design heat load. A single-room system does not meet that test and receives nothing — there is no reduced tier. For whole-home systems the amount depends on your utility territory, home size, whether you're decommissioning fossil-fuel heat, and whether your ZIP is a Disadvantaged Community. We quantify exactly what applies to your project in the written proposal.

How long does installation take?

A single-zone mini-split is typically 1 day. Multi-zone systems run 1–2 days. Whole-home or hybrid configurations 2–4 days. Install time doesn't include permit + rebate paperwork, which adds a few weeks upfront — we handle all of it.

What brands of mini-splits do you install?

Mitsubishi (authorized dealer), Samsung (Preferred Dealer Plus), and Bosch. We match the equipment to your home and goals — we're not tied to one brand.

What's the warranty?

Typical equipment warranties run 10–12 years on compressors and 5–10 years on parts, depending on brand. IGS provides a separate workmanship warranty on the install. All warranties are documented in your written proposal.
