PSE&G offers a variety of rebates and discounts to help you use less and save more. Find great deals on energy-efficient appliances and products, and take advantage of rebates on high-efficiency ENERGY STAR® models.
• Seal Up and Save. The average U.S. homeowner can save 15% on heating and cooling costs by air sealing their home, as well as adding insulation in attics, floors and over crawl spaces, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.  Use weather stripping or caulk to seal cracks and prevent drafts in windows and doorframes, and don’t forget to install draft guards beneath doors. Safeguard your household from the elements and learn more about PSE&G’s home weatherization program for eligible customers.
• Choose the Right PSE&G Home Assessment for Your Lifestyle. PSE&G offers a variety of energy efficiency assessments, so we encourage you to find the option that best meets your unique needs. The assessments provide energy-saving measures, products and expert guidance to residential customers. 
• Replace Air Filters Regularly. Clogged and dirty filters can reduce the efficiency of your heating and cooling systems.
• Replace Incandescent Bulbs in Your Home with High-Efficiency LEDs. LEDs use 90% less energy than conventional bulbs and last at least 15 times longer. Remember to turn off lights whenever you're the last one to leave a room.
• Adjust the Thermostat. To save energy at night or when no one is home. If you have a programmable thermostat and you're not using it, now's a great time to start. Smart thermostat models include advanced features, such as remote control. For discounts on smart thermostats and other products to save energy, check out the PSE&G Marketplace for eligible customers.
