COOLAdvantage Program

The COOLAdvantage Program provides rebates for energy-efficient central air conditioners or heat pumps as well as proper system sizing and installation "best practices" that affect operating efficiency.

  • Customers of Atlantic City Electric, Jersey Central Power and Light, Public Service Electric and Gas, or Rockland Electric are eligible for specific COOLAdvantage incentives.

To ensure that New Jersey residents get the full benefits of an energy-efficient central air conditioner or heat pump (i.e. that it operates as efficiently as its energy rating suggests it should), the rebate will be processed only if your installing contractor submits documentation that the air conditioner or heat pump has been properly sized and installed.

Central Air Conditioner rebate amounts are based on the unit's SEER and EER and documentation that the proper installation requirements have been met. Both the condenser and coil must be replaced or installed as a matched set as rated in the Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration Institute certified performance criteria.

Geothermal/Ground Source Heat Pump rebate amounts are based on the unit's EER. Documentation that the unit has been properly installed is also required.

Heat Pump rebate amounts are based on the unit's SEER, EER and Heating HSPF and documentation that the proper installation requirements have been met.  All three factors (SEER, EER and HSPF) must meet minimum requirements in order to qualify for a rebate.

Federal Tax Credits are available for energy efficient home improvements.
