Who JCP&L serves
JCP&L serves Ocean County customers, including the Holiday City section of Toms River. It also serves counties such as Monmouth, Morris and Middlesex. Atlantic City Electric serves part of Ocean County too, so Toms River readers should check the name on the bill. If it says PSE&G, see the PSE&G page.
Clean Comfort in detail
Clean Comfort is for existing single-family homes. New construction is not eligible. The old heating system must burn gas, oil or propane. The heat pump must be a cold climate model on the Northeast Energy Efficiency Partnerships list, sized for the whole heating load, with equipment chosen using the industry's standard calculations. The project needs permits and a decommissioning form when the old system is removed. After you apply, allow six to eight weeks, and expect a possible inspection before payment.
The online store
JCP&L runs its rebates through a store site where you create an account, pick a product and apply with a receipt. Applications are due within 120 days of purchase, and equipment must be bought and installed from January 1, 2025 through June 30, 2027. Both the outdoor unit and indoor coil of a heat pump must be replaced as a matched set. JCP&L adds that applying for the same incentive with a gas company at the same time is prohibited, so ask about the gas side first.
What JCP&L does not pay
We found no battery rebate or rooftop solar rebate on the JCP&L pages. State solar credits and net metering still apply to solar owners. The federal credits ended after 2025.
