Summary of NYSERDA Clean & Tune
Project (April 2006-June 2007):
- NYSERDA will pay
for up to 20 Clean & Tune (C&T)
services for each county in which your
company participates in the HEAP Oil Buying
Component.
- NYSERDA will pay your
cost for performing each C&T service
up to a maximum of $150 except for mobile
home heating systems for which the maximum
payment is $120.
- In addition, for each
county in which you participate in the
HEAP Oil Buying Component, up to $1,200
is available for minor parts and repairs
that may be needed beyond the C&T
services provided. These funds may be
used to make justifiable repairs costing
up to $200 for any one system. Repairs
to one system exceeding $200 require prior
approval from CPN which is usually possible
by telephone. Total repairs to all systems
combined may not exceed the overall repair
limit ($1,200 x number of counties) without
prior written approval from NYSERDA.
- You choose the households
to be served among your 2005-06 or 2006-07
HEAP recipients, based on criteria stipulated
in the Participation Agreement.
- The C&T service must
be performed according to the specifications
outlined in the Clean & Tune Checklist
and Certification Form (Attachment A).
Art Godin is available to speak with service
managers and staff about the fine points
of these requirements.
- C&T
services to eligible HEAP recipients who
rent their dwellings require landlord
approval. Attachment B serves to explain
the program to landlords and to obtain
their approval, and requires only the
insertion of your company name & address.
- Each C&T performed
requires a completed Checklist (Attachment
A), and a Rental Property Clean &
Tune Agreement (Attachment B) when applicable.
Payment for several C&T’s may
be requested using a single Clean &
Tune Request for Payment Form (Attachment
C).
- NYSERDA is offering
equipment purchase incentives of up to
$500 per unit, with a maximum of $2,000
per Vendor, when all the specifications
outlined below are met. Quality equipment
can be purchased at a cost of
$600 - $900 per unit.
- NYSERDA
will reimburse 20% (up to $200) of
the cost of a qualified Combustion
Analyzer* upon proof of purchase;
- An additional
$100 incentive will be paid if the
unit includes a printer;
- An additional
$200 incentive will be paid upon documentation
of 10 Clean & Tune services completed
with this equipment.
*Qualified Combustion
Analyzers must measure Oxygen, Air Temperature,
Stack Temperature, and Carbon Monoxide (CO),
and must calculate Combustion Efficiency,
Excess Air and Carbon Dioxide (CO2).
