Under PSEG Long Island's current program: up to $300 for an electric or heat pump clothes dryer, $100 for a fridge or washer, $25 for a freezer, on ENERGY STAR Most Efficient models from the Qualified Product List, refunded at up to half the purchase price.
Southampton mixes older shingle-style homes near the water with newer year-round construction further inland, and coastal humidity is a genuine factor in how long an appliance lasts out here — a heat pump dryer's lower heat output also puts less strain on an older home's ventilation path when the laundry area shares space with damp sea air.
A heat pump dryer registers as an electric dryer on PSEG's form, so it gets the full $300, and it uses roughly half the electricity a standard resistance model draws over a year. Browse heat pump dryers at Home Depot →
PSEG doesn't name induction cooktops or ranges in its rebate list, but they're worth a look regardless: quicker heat-up, a surface safe to touch soon after cooking, and cookware that has to be magnetic — check your current pots with a fridge magnet first.

Up to $300 for an electric or heat pump clothes dryer, $100 for a refrigerator or clothes washer, and $25 for a freezer, capped at 50% of the purchase price. The model has to be on PSEG's current Qualified Product List.
Does coastal humidity affect appliance choice in Southampton?
