Hempstead / Woodbury

Heat pump installation in Woodbury, NY - up to $7,000 rebate

Woodbury in Orange County

Woodbury has 11,334 residents (give or take 300) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US3682750, checked 2026-10-19), about 319 people per square mile.

Woodbury is about 50 miles from the Census center point for Hempstead in a straight line and covers 35.561 square miles of land (Census 2024 Gazetteer internal points and land area, https://www2.census.gov/geo/docs/maps-data/data/gazetteer/2024_Gazetteer/, checked 2026-10-19).

The quote form takes a ZIP code; for Woodbury that is 10917, 10930 (Census 2020 ZCTA to county subdivision and ZCTA to place relationship files, ZIP areas at least 20% inside the town, https://www2.census.gov/geo/docs/maps-data/data/rel2020/zcta520/tab20_zcta520_cousub20_natl.txt and https://www2.census.gov/geo/docs/maps-data/data/rel2020/zcta520/tab20_zcta520_place20_natl.txt, checked 2026-10-19).

Woodbury is spread out at 319 people per square mile across 35.561 square miles of land, so a long refrigerant line run between the outdoor unit and the farthest indoor head is the sizing question an installer checks first.

Fuel mix

Of the 3,483 occupied homes in Woodbury, 51% heat with natural gas, 31% with heating oil, 13% with electricity and 4% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US3682750, checked 2026-10-19).

Gas leads in Woodbury at 51%, but 35% of homes still burn delivered oil or propane, and those 1,219 or so homes are where a heat pump pays back fastest.

Woodbury has 4 points more oil heat than Orange County as a whole, where 27% of homes burn oil, and 2 points less electric heat than the county's 15% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US36071, checked 2026-10-19).

Housing stock

Woodbury has 3,850 housing units, 14% built before 1940 and 46% before 1980, with 20% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US3682750, checked 2026-10-19).

Woodbury has 6 points fewer pre-1940 homes than Orange County as a whole (20%) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US36071, checked 2026-10-19).

The median Woodbury home was built in 1982 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US3682750, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 7.1 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US3682750, checked 2026-10-19).

81% of Woodbury homes are single-family detached, 5% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 3% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US3682750, checked 2026-10-19).

With 81% detached houses and 5% in small multi-family buildings, a Woodbury quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 11% of Woodbury homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US3682750, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.

Woodbury has 20 points more detached houses than Orange County overall (61%) and 15 points fewer five-plus-unit buildings than the county's 18% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US36071, checked 2026-10-19).

Only 11% of Woodbury homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US3682750, checked 2026-10-19), so nearly every quote here is the resident talking to the installer directly, and the rebate goes to the person living in the house.

Rebate path

No electric utility is on file for Woodbury on this door yet, so this page does not name one; the name on the bill decides which rebate path applies.

NYS Clean Heat (Con Edison), run by Con Edison, is a live program for New York addresses and lists a standard figure of $7,000 (registry row 5 verified 2026-10-16, https://www.coned.com/en/save-money/rebates-incentives-tax-credits/rebates-incentives-tax-credits-for-residential-customers/electric-heating-and-cooling-technology-for-renters-homeowners/save-on-a-central-air-source-heat-pump, checked 2026-10-16); confirm eligibility for the Woodbury address before counting it. With 13% of Woodbury homes already on electric heat and 86% on gas, oil or propane, the row that applies depends on the name on the electric bill and the fuel coming out.

Median household income in Woodbury is $121,221 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US3682750, checked 2026-10-19); many state and utility heat pump rebate programs set higher incentive tiers for income-qualifying households, so the household income on the application, not the town median, decides which level applies.

Cold-day number

Heating design temperature: 2F. Source: ENERGY STAR Design Temperature Limit Reference Guide (2019 Edition), Orange County row, 99% heating, PDF pages 84 to 86 of 141 (Revised 11/11/2020), https://www.energystar.gov/sites/default/files/Design%20Temperature%20Limit%20Reference%20Guide%20(2019%20Ed)%20-%20ENERGY%20STAR%20Single-Family%20New%20Homes_Rev11.pdf, fetched 2026-10-19, 99%.

That 2F figure is the Orange County cold-day number a Woodbury heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 2F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.

Next step

Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 51% of Woodbury on gas and 13% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.

Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Woodbury home has 7.1 rooms and was built around 1982, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
