Your utility will help pay for a more comfortable home.
New Jersey homeowners can receive up to $7,500 in cash back incentives and up to $25,000 in zero interest financing for insulation, heating, cooling, and hot water upgrades through their utility company. Ciel Power guides you through the entire process, from your first energy audit to your final rebate.
Current program terms run through June 30, 2027.
Older homes have a lot of charm. They also have drafts.
Most New Jersey homes were built decades before modern energy standards existed. That is why so many of them have rooms that never feel right: a bedroom that swelters in July, a family room that stays cold no matter where you set the thermostat, energy bills that keep climbing.
These problems have causes you can find and fix. Since 2010, Ciel Power has performed more than 5,000 home energy audits across northern and central New Jersey, helping homeowners understand exactly where their homes lose energy and which upgrades will make the biggest difference.
Three steps to a better home
1. Start with a home energy audit.
A certified Ciel Power auditor spends about three hours evaluating your home with diagnostic equipment, including a blower door test and infrared imaging. The audit costs $99, and the fee is credited toward your project if you move forward with upgrades.
2. Review your personalized plan.
You receive a clear report showing where your home loses energy, which improvements will help most, your projected rebate, and your financing options. No jargon, no pressure, no obligation.
3. We handle the rest.
If you decide to move forward, our team installs your upgrades, verifies the results with follow up testing, and manages every rebate application and program form on your behalf.
What New Jersey's programs offer
The Whole Home Energy Solutions program is available through all seven of New Jersey's regional utility companies, including PSE&G, JCP&L, and New Jersey Natural Gas. Depending on your projected energy savings, your project may qualify for:
- Up to $7,500 in cash back incentives, applied directly to your project cost
- Up to $25,000 in zero interest financing, repaid through your regular utility bill with no bank loan and no interest charges
- Enhanced benefits for income qualified households, including extended repayment terms
Homeowners switching to high efficiency heat pumps may also qualify for additional rebates through their utility's Building Decarbonization program, which can be combined with Whole Home incentives on the same project.
Your exact incentives depend on your utility and your home. Your audit report will show you the specific numbers before you commit to anything.

Your audit, start to finish
Your auditor will walk your home with you, inspect the attic, basement, heating and cooling systems, and hot water equipment, run a blower door test to measure air leakage, and check for health and safety issues like carbon monoxide and gas leaks. You will get answers on the spot and a full written report within days. Most audits take about three hours, and you do not need to prepare anything beyond clearing access to your attic and mechanical equipment.
Frequently asked questions
How much do the incentives actually cover?
It depends on your home and your utility. Projects earn a rebate based on projected energy savings: $2,000 at 5% savings, plus $200 for each additional percentage point, up to $7,500. Rebates cannot exceed 50% of project costs. Your audit report will show your projected rebate before you decide anything.
Do I have to pay for the upgrades up front?
No. Qualifying projects can be financed at 0% interest through your utility bill, up to $25,000. There is no bank loan; for on bill programs, qualification is based on your utility payment history, while utilities that finance through a lending partner apply standard lending guidelines.
Is the $99 audit really the only cost to get started?
Yes. The audit is $99, and if you move forward with upgrades, that $99 is credited toward your project.
Which utilities participate?
