We’re working on climate solutions together.

Nyack 2030 is an initiative of the Village of Nyack and community partners, addressing the climate crisis locally and forging a path to a resilient and sustainable future. With support from businesses, the schools, library, houses of worship, civic organizations, nonprofits and individuals, we will reduce greenhouse emissions 75% from our 2018 emissions by 2030 and create a foundation for a sustainable future.

Plan Ahead!  Don’t wait until your boiler or hot water heater breaks down. 

Take advantage of rebates and incentives, including a fee waiver from the Nyack Building Department.

Get to know about equipment, rebates and incentives for heat pump hot water heaters and air source or ground source heat pumps, so you are prepared to act before an emergency strikes.

Cold-climate heat pumps are a smart, efficient, and environmentally friendly option to keep your home comfortable all year long.  

Installations of a heat pump for hot water or heating and cooling will help the Village qualify for a NYSERDA grant of up to $35,000. These funds will be reinvested in projects for energy efficiency and renewable energy.

Need advice on purchasing or owning an EV or plug-in hybrid?  

We have a team of local EV ambassadors ready to answer questions about vehicles, charging, incentives and discounts
