Chatham Home Energy Audits at the $49 Community Rate
Chatham has been welcoming travelers since John Day settled beside the Fishawack, the Lenape name for the Passaic River, back in 1710. In 2023, the Chatham Home Energy Insight Program brought that welcome home: a collaboration between the Chatham Borough Green Team, the Mayor and Borough Council, and Ciel Power that introduced residents to the professional home energy audit at a deeply discounted rate. Chatham Borough residents continue to receive that $49 community rate today.
Why Chatham homes benefit most
Roughly one in six Chatham Borough homes dates to before 1940, and the median home was built in 1963, decades before modern insulation and air sealing standards existed. For Chatham's older colonials, Victorians, and mid century homes, audit findings are often eye opening: thin attic insulation, drafty band joists, ductwork losing conditioned air before it ever reaches your bedrooms. Every one of those problems is fixable, and the audit shows you which fixes matter most for your specific house.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Chatham Home Energy Insight Program still running?
The Chatham Home Energy Insight Program launched in 2023 and introduced the discounted audit to the borough. Chatham residents continue to receive the $49 community rate on our complete home energy audit, which is $99 for the general public (regularly $299).
Which utilities serve Chatham homes?
Chatham homes are served by PSE&G and JCP&L. Whole Home Energy Solutions is a statewide program offered through both utilities, so your audit can open the door to incentives whichever one serves your home. We confirm your utility and eligibility when you schedule.
What does the audit include?
In about three hours, certified Ciel Power technicians run blower door testing to measure air leakage, scan your walls and attic with infrared thermal imaging, and perform combustion safety testing for carbon monoxide, gas leaks, and ventilation. You receive a detailed report and a one on one consultation.
Can you guarantee my rebate or savings?
No, and you should be wary of anyone who does. Rebate amounts depend on your home's modeled energy savings and program eligibility. Qualified homeowners can access up to $7,500 in cash back and up to $25,000 in zero interest financing, and your audit report shows what your home may qualify for.
