What Atlantic City Electric pays in 2026
The company says its programs depend on available funding. Each card names the fact with the date and source link.

Up to $10,000 or 50% of project costs for a full switch with a cold climate heat pump, up to $5,000 or 50% for dual fuel, and up to $2,000 or 30% for a partial switch with a standard heat pump.

Who Atlantic City Electric serves
The company serves about 547,000 customers in eight counties of southern New Jersey, according to the state's Rate Counsel office. Atlantic City is in that region, but we found no official page that names the city, so confirm the name on your electric bill. Part of Ocean County is also in its territory. If your bill says PSE&G or JCP&L, use the PSE&G page or the JCP&L page.
Two tracks, one contractor
HVAC equipment and electrical panels go through a licensed contractor who submits online within 90 days of purchase. Indoor appliances and lawn equipment you can submit yourself, also within 90 days, and the company mails a check within 45 days. The company has joint forms for customers who also buy gas rebates from South Jersey Gas, New Jersey Natural Gas or PSE&G gas, so ask the contractor which form to use.
The headline numbers
The rebates page says "up to $1,300" for the standard HVAC program, and the appliance page says "up to $750." Neither is the full story. The heat pump line alone reaches $2,000, and the electrification program reaches $10,000. When you compare quotes, add the rows yourself from the tables in the cards above.
What Atlantic City Electric does not pay
We found no home battery rebate or rooftop solar rebate on the pages we read. State solar credits and net metering still apply to solar owners. We also found no weatherization rebate; Comfort Partners covers lower incomes at no cost. The federal credits ended after 2025.
