How The Program Works

PSE&G will provide a free on-site energy audit, recommend energy efficiency upgrades and provide a detailed cost estimate. PSE&G pays for 100% of the upfront costs and the work is done by a PSE&G authorized contractor. When the work is complete, customers repay only 30% of the total, interest free, over 36 months on their PSE&G bill (or in one lump sum payment if they prefer).
