It’s the last day to get money for a new air conditioner in NYC

NEW YORK (PIX11) – It’s the last day to apply to get money for a new air conditioner in New York City.

Eligible locals can apply for up to $800 for a window or portable air conditioner or fan or up to $1,000 for an existing wall sleeve unit. The cost will cover the air conditioner or fan, labor costs, removal of the old unit, and any minor repairs required for installation.

Anyone who is already eligible for or receiving HEAP benefits can apply for the air conditioner. Income requirements cap an applicant in a household of one at $3,035 in gross monthly income or $4,904 for a household of three. Applicants’ existing air conditioning must be at least five years old.

The application window opened in April and was originally scheduled to end Friday, but the CrowdStrike outage prompted city and state officials to extend applications to Monday.

This summer has proved hot in New York City , which has already seen a few heat waves. On Monday, the city is expected to see temperatures in the mid- to upper-80s, with high humidity and muggy conditions.
