Free Energy Audit NJ: How PSE&G Home Energy Assessment Works

A home energy audit is the first step to unlocking thousands of dollars in NJ HVAC rebates — and in many cases, the audit itself is free. PSE&G and the NJ Clean Energy program both offer energy assessments that identify exactly where your home is losing energy and which upgrades will qualify for rebates. Mechanical Enterprise provides free HVAC-focused assessments as part of every consultation.

What You'll Learn from Your Assessment

Why the Assessment Is the Key to Maximum Rebates

The assessment isn't just about evaluating your home — it's about designing a project that qualifies for maximum rebates. Equipment selection, efficiency ratings, and project scope all affect rebate amounts. Mechanical Enterprise designs every project to hit the highest rebate tiers. That's why our average customer receives $12,400 in combined rebates — significantly above the NJ average.
