One Homeowner's Experience with PSE&G's Home Performance with ENERGY STAR® Energy Efficiency Incentive Program
Wondering whether PSE&G’s Home Performance with ENERGY STAR® energy efficiency incentive program is right for you?
Homeowner and Ciel client Dennis Wilson weighs in with his experiences and insights after participating in PSE&G’s Home Performance with ENERGY STAR energy efficiency incentive program — the New Jersey Home Performance with ENERGY STAR program.
While participating in the program, Dennis underwent a home energy audit, installed energy-efficient upgrades in his home, and received both the cash-back and on-bill repayment options available through PSE&G.

Insulation levels in Dennis W.’s home were well below recommended levels
New Jersey homeowners have a lot of things to think about. Attic insulation may not always be atop that list.
This was the case for Dennis Wilson—until one day, he looked around his attic and noticed that it had very little visible insulation compared to what he’d seen in other homes.
He also knew this meant costly air leaks and energy loss.
Dennis’s discovery prompted him to look into the various energy efficiency programs available to New Jersey residents, specifically the incentives available for air sealing and other energy conservation upgrades available to residential customers through the State of New Jersey’s Board of Public Utilities for New Jersey residents.
His findings led him to us.
The Many Advantages of a Ciel Home Energy Audit

Our team was delighted to talk to Dennis about the energy efficiency of his 50+-year-old home, along with potential upgrades to minimize energy losses and maximize efficiency. As a first step towards participating in New Jersey’s energy efficiency program, Dennis signed on for a CIEL Home Energy Audit to identify specific areas of concern, along with strategies for addressing them.
In addition to reducing his family’s carbon footprint with a Ciel Home Energy Audit, Dennis was positioning his family for some serious financial savings available through New Jersey’s energy efficiency incentive programs both in the form of:
lower energy bills
AND
financial incentives through the 2022 New Jersey Home Performance with ENERGY STAR® program.
Partnership Toward a More Efficient and Comfortable Home
In the video, Dennis weighs in on his experiences working with CIEL. One theme that emerges? The partnership aspect of the process. From the initial conversation to follow-up testing, we’ll work with you to ensure your questions and concerns are addressed.
After our initial testing, we provided Dennis with a report capturing the recommended steps. Only when Dennis was fully satisfied that the recommended upgrades and outcomes would be a good investment did the project move forward. And because he was working from home then, Dennis had a front-row seat to watch while these upgrades were being installed in his home.
If you’ve been wondering how to improve your home’s energy efficiency, and/or questioning whether a home energy audit is right for you, and if your utility company offers incentives, there’s no one better to hear from than a homeowner like Dennis Wilson, who’s just been through the process himself.
