New Jersey Rebate Calculator 2026: What Your Utility Pays
New Jersey rebates come from your electric utility and from a few state programs. This calculator shows what PSE&G, JCP&L and Atlantic City Electric pay today.
Short answer: New Jersey has no one statewide heat pump rebate. Your electric utility pays it. PSE&G, JCP&L and Atlantic City Electric each pay up to $10,000 when a cold climate heat pump replaces a gas, oil or propane heating system, and smaller amounts for a standard heat pump, a heat pump water heater and a smart thermostat. PSE&G also pays up to $5,000 for a home battery. The federal tax credits ended after 2025.
