Appliance rebates by utility
Each card names the fact we keep on file, with the date we last read the official page.

Atlantic City Electric
Dryer up to $300, washer up to $150, refrigerator up to $100, dehumidifier $40, room air conditioner $30, electric lawn equipment $25 to $75. The program ends December 31, 2026 or sooner if funds run out.
Leaving gas for electric cooking and drying
Atlantic City Electric pays up to $250 for induction cooking and up to $200 for a heat pump dryer when you leave gas. JCP&L's Clean Comfort pays $400 for induction cooking and $400 for a heat pump dryer replacing a fossil fuel unit.
The amounts look close, but the rules differ. Most require an ENERGY STAR model, a receipt and your utility account number, so read the form before you buy.
Buy once, claim once
Each rebate is for one unit. Keep the receipt, the model number and a photo of the label. Most programs want a paid invoice with the date, so avoid cash deals without paper. If you buy at a store with an instant discount, you may see the amount taken off at checkout instead of mailed later. The PSE&G page splits its list into instant discounts and rebates you apply for after buying.
If you are leaving gas
The biggest appliance numbers are for homes moving from gas to electric. Induction cooktops and heat pump dryers sit in the programs for switching fuels. JCP&L pays them only inside its Clean Comfort project, so they need a heat pump or water heater job to go with them. Atlantic City Electric lists them in its electrification table with an extra $100 for induction for moderate-income homes. Talk to the contractor about adding a 240-volt circuit for the dryer or stove.
Renters
A tenant who pays an electric bill and buys a refrigerator or a washer may be able to claim the rebate, since the programs ask for a customer account and a receipt. We did not find a rule that blocks renters from the appliance lists, but we did not find one that allows it either, so ask the utility. Always ask the landlord if the appliance stays with the unit.
Free refrigerators for lower incomes
The state's Comfort Partners program lists replacement of inefficient refrigerators among its free measures for households at or below 250% of the federal poverty level. If that fits you, call before you buy a new one.
