First, you should discuss on-bill repayment with your participating contractor, who will apply for it on your behalf prior to starting your project. To qualify, you must have 12 months of continuous, on-time payment history with PSE&G.
If you’ve not yet been a PSE&G customer for 12 months, you still may be eligible for on-bill repayment. Ask your previous gas or electric utility to provide you with a letter of credit (for service within the past 24 months) confirming that your account had 12 months of continuous, on-time payment.
Once we approve you for on-bill repayment, we’ll notify your participating contractor, and they can enroll you.
All payment agreements are between PSE&G and the eligible customer. Please note that the PSE&G account holder at the property where the work is performed must be the customer who signs the agreement.
PSE&G will notify your contractor that you’ve been approved or denied, and they will inform you.
Yes, you may enroll with each of your PSE&G accounts. Please note that you will be subject to a maximum outstanding balance of $25,000 per account.
If you are enrolled in on-bill repayment, you can either pay the outstanding balance in equal monthly installments over the term of the agreement or pay one lump sum for the full remaining balance at any time.
Please note that once you are enrolled in an installment plan, we cannot accept surplus payments toward the principal of your on-bill repayment balance.
If your account is closed for any reason, the unpaid balance is due and payable to PSE&G within 30 days.

Yes. You can locate a participating contractor on our website.
If you don’t wish to work with a participating contractor, you may still be eligible for savings on certain equipment through our Appliance Rebates Program.
When you purchase this equipment from a participating contractor, applicable rebates are credited to your invoice, which lowers your total project cost.
Invite your contractor to apply to the program on our Trade Ally Portal. They can contact us at 1-855-846-2895 if they have any questions.
Our experienced participating contractors can guide you through the entire equipment selection and upgrade process. They also can handle all necessary permits required by law, complete your installation, and provide you with an instant rebate on your invoice once the project is finished.
All PSE&G participating contractors are licensed in the state of New Jersey and have provided references, qualifications, and evidence of insurance.
PSE&G does not inspect installations to verify quality or safety. However, we do conduct random inspections to confirm that qualifying equipment was installed. If you’re selected for an inspection, we’ll call you to schedule an appointment.
To qualify, you must be a current residential PSE&G customer with a valid account number. You also must be the owner of the house where the installation is to be performed.
Please note that new construction homes and commercial properties aren’t eligible.
You can only claim a single rebate for qualifying equipment for your home’s primary heating or cooling system. However, you can claim additional rebates for a qualifying water heater, as well as for a smart thermostat (if one isn’t already present in your home).
No. Rebates through the HVAC Instant Rebate Program can only be credited as a deduction on your project invoice.
In most cases, your furnace or air handler must be high efficiency in order to qualify for a rebate. Our HVAC Instant Rebate Program requires that your entire heating and cooling system meets the minimum SEER and EER efficiency ratings as specified by the Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI), so you should confirm with your contractor whether your complete system is eligible.
