Buildings contribute more to climate change than any other sector in NY -- more than electricity, more than transportation, and more than industry. To heat our buildings, we burn fuel oil, methane gas, and other fossil fuels; these are inefficient and harmful to indoor air quality and our climate.

Bucks for Boilers is a transformative climate bill that will subsidize New Yorkers' transition from fossil-fueled boilers to energy-efficient heat pumps. The bill establishes a state program that will help us pay for the building and electrical upgrades and installation of renewable heating technology. It will lower our energy costs, make our homes safer and cleaner, and help our state meet its climate mandate -- while helping us meet the ambitions of Local Law 97.

Tell your state-level elected officials to support this transformative legislation and fight for it to pass.
