Save energy at home by making the switch to high-efficiency heating and cooling equipment.

Enjoy instant rebates and long-term savings.

Heating and cooling can account for nearly half the energy you use at home. If your HVAC equipment is more than 10 years old, replacing it with ENERGY STAR® certified models could reduce your annual energy costs by 10%–30%.*

It’s more affordable than ever to make the switch to a more energy-efficient system. Through PSE&G’s residential HVAC Instant Rebate Program, you can save up to $900 on eligible equipment when you work with one of our participating contractors.

How You Can Participate

To get started, contact a PSE&G participating contractor who can help guide you through the process, install your equipment, and provide you with an instant rebate once the installation of your new high-efficiency unit(s) is complete.

On-Bill Repayment

You may be eligible for interest-free, on-bill repayment to help defer the cost of your energy efficiency upgrades, including the purchase and installation of high-efficiency heating and cooling equipment.

  • If you are a PSE&G electric and gas customer, you may qualify for a repayment term of 84 months (seven years) for up to $25,000 of the total project cost.
  • If your electric or gas service is not provided by PSE&G, you may qualify for a repayment term of 84 months (seven years) for up to $15,000 of the total project cost.
  • Income-qualified PSE&G electric and gas customers may qualify for a repayment term of 84 months (seven years) if the total amount borrowed is $10,000 or less. For project costs between $10,001 and $25,000, these customers can choose a term of either 84 months (seven years) or 120 months (ten years).

† SEER is seasonal energy efficiency ratio. EER is energy efficiency ratio. HSPF is heating season performance factor. SEER, EER, and HSPF ratings are determined by entering the model number of the indoor coil, the outdoor unit and, in many cases, the air handler/furnace into the AHRI directory (www.ahridirectory.org). UEF is uniform energy factor.
