The New Jersey Office of Clean Energy (OCE) offers rebates to state residents who purchase certain energy efficient home appliances. In order to be eligible for a rebate, consumers must be customers of one of the following utilities: Atlantic City Electric; Jersey Central Power & Light; PSE&G Electric; Rockland Electric Company (utilities that collect the state Societal Benefits Charge on customer bills). The rebates offered vary by appliance type. As of January 20, 2010 two appliance rebates were indicated as being active on the program website. The room air conditioner rebate is seasonal (May - August each year) and is currently closed. Current rebate amounts are as follows:
- Clothes washers: $75 (expires December 31, 2010)
- Dehumidifiers: $25 (expires December 31, 2010)
- Room AC: $20 (currently expired, usually open May - August each year)
The program website has a search engine where consumers can look up local retailers offering discounts on compact fluorescent lighting products. The OCE also offers a $50 rebate for
refrigerator/freezer recycling. Rebates are not available for the purchase of new refrigerators or freezers.
As a general rule, all appliances must be Energy Star rated; however, additional requirements may apply to different types of appliances. Rebate requests must generally be made no later than one month after the purchase of a qualifying appliance and be accompanied by proof of purchase and product information. Rebates may be limited to one per customer for some equipment types although this is not always the case. For further information on the program please consult the program website.
