FAQ

Do you only participate in PSE&G’s Direct Install program?

No! We participate in every single Direct Install program offered by New Jersey’s public utilities, including: PSE&G, Jersey Central Power & Light (JCP&L), Orange & Rockland (ONR), Atlantic City Electric (ACE),New Jersey Natural Gas (NJNG) , and Elizabethtown Gas.

Are your energy assessments really free and non-commital?

We 100% believe that knowledge is power—especially when it comes to powering your business sustainably. That’s why we offer these assessments at no cost and with no strings attached.

What happened with Direct Install from New Jersey’s Clean Energy Program™?

In 2021, Direct Install was transitioned out of the New Jersey’s Clean Energy Program™ and is now run by each individual public utility. Read more on their website and on our update page.

Are there financing options for Direct Install?

Yes! Upgrade your businesses’ energy efficiency easily with Direct Install’s 0% APR financing option for up to 5 years. No upfront costs, just a more energy-efficient facility!

How are programs like Direct Install or NJ SmartStart Buildings from New Jersey’s Clean Energy Program™ funded?

They are funded by business owners like you! The “Societal Benefits Charge” on your electric and gas bills takes a small portion of your billing and pools it into the Clean Energy fund.

Would I be able to upgrade my lighting only through Direct Install?

You can, but you better maximize your Direct Install incentives, its best to do a comprehensive energy efficiency project (meaning both lighting and HVAC).

Why does a business need to submit a years’ worth of its electric and gas bills for the energy assessment?

One of the Direct Install program requirements is that a commercial entity needs to be in the facility for one calendar year in order to qualify. We also pre-qualify commercial spaces based off of their annual average energy usage, to determine the best applicable energy program.

How long does an energy assessment take?

An energy assessment can take as long as it takes to walk your facility. We will quietly walk around and survey your building, with minimal disruption to regular business.
