NYCHA HVAC repair act mandates geothermal or air source heat pumps for NYCHA properties and LED bulb replacements.

The NYCHA HVAC repair act amends the public housing law, public authorities law, and energy law to direct the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) to retrofit residential properties with geothermal or air source heat pumps, replacing oil or natural gas heating systems. It also mandates the replacement of all existing lighting in NYCHA properties with LED bulbs. The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority is authorized to establish a revolving loan account to fund these retrofits. The act allows for a surcharge of up to two percent on energy bills to support these repairs.
