Buying new? PSEG Long Island will send you back up to $300 on an electric or heat pump clothes dryer, $100 on a fridge or washer, and $25 on a freezer, as long as the model sits on the current ENERGY STAR Most Efficient Qualified Product List and you keep the paid-in-full receipt. The check (or account credit) is capped at half the purchase price and shows up within about 10 weeks of filing.
Babylon's South Shore streets run heavily to postwar ranches and Cape Cods, where laundry usually landed in an unfinished basement or an attached garage with no easy path to an exterior wall — exactly the setup where skipping a vent entirely, rather than just fixing an old vent, actually saves the visit from an electrician or duct installer.
A heat pump dryer counts as an "electric dryer" on PSEG's form, so it earns the full $300, and it typically runs on about half the power of the resistance dryer sitting in most Babylon basements right now — some models skip exterior venting entirely. Browse heat pump dryers at Home Depot →
PSEG doesn't list induction cooktops or ranges by name, but they're a real kitchen upgrade on their own merits: quicker to boil water, a surface that cools fast once you turn it off, with the one real catch being your cookware has to be magnetic — a fridge magnet test on your current pots takes ten seconds and saves a surprise.
