Please Note:
Effective March 6, 2003 the eligibility requirements for incentives for high efficiency residential heating and cooling systems have been modified to comply with the State of New Jersey Board of Public Utilities Energy Order Docket No. EO02120955, dated March 4, 2003.
After March 6th, incentives for HVAC installations in newly constructed homes are only available within areas designated for growth in the State Plan. These Smart Growth Areas are defined as Planning Area 1 and 2, plus the Designated Centers, utilizing the policy map of the New Jersey State Development and Redevelopment Plan. As a result, equipment installed later than March 6th in newly constructed homes in non-Smart Growth Areas is no longer eligible for the incentive.There is no change for installations in existing homes.
Important Notice:
- Please submit only one application per unit.
- PSE&G recommends that you have your new furnace or boiler inspected by PSE&G after it is installed. This can be arranged by calling the telephone number on your monthly energy bill.
- Homes constructed under the NJ Energy Star Homes program are not eligible for the Gas Furnace/Boiler/Water Heater Rebate Program.
