The PSE&G NJ Clean Heat program incentivizes homeowners to switch from fossil fuel and outdated cooling systems to high-efficiency heat pumps. The rebate amount depends on your current heating system type, the heat pump you install, and your home characteristics. Homes replacing R22 AC systems are strong candidates because the old system is inherently inefficient and uses a banned refrigerant. PSE&G wants these systems off the grid, which is why rebate amounts are so generous for R22 replacements.

Common Mistakes That Reduce Your Rebate
The biggest mistake homeowners make is choosing a contractor who is not experienced with PSE&G rebate applications. Incomplete paperwork, wrong equipment specifications, or missed deadlines can reduce or eliminate your rebate. Some contractors also recommend equipment that does not qualify for the highest rebate tier, leaving thousands on the table.
