HeatingA category from your Ciel audit report
Heating that keeps up with New Jersey winters, without the bills that come with them
If your heating system is more than 15 years old, it is likely operating far below modern efficiency, and every cold snap costs you more than it should. Today's equipment is dramatically better, and New Jersey's utility programs will help pay for the upgrade.
What we install
High efficiency gas furnaces
Modern condensing furnaces of 95% efficiency or better, compared to the 60 to 80% typical of older equipment. Sealed combustion models also draw air from outside rather than pulling heated air out of your home, a meaningful safety and efficiency improvement.
High efficiency boilers
For homes with radiators or baseboard hot water heat, modern condensing and modulating boilers deliver steady, comfortable heat while using far less fuel. We also modernize steam systems.
Cold climate heat pumps
The fastest growing choice in New Jersey. Modern cold climate heat pumps heat comfortably well below zero degrees, cool your home in summer from the same equipment, and qualify for the largest rebates in the state's programs. Learn about heat pumps and their rebates →
Sized for your home, not the one down the street
Oversized equipment cycles on and off constantly, wears out early, and never dehumidifies properly. Ciel Power sizes heating equipment with a Manual J load calculation, the industry standard method for sizing equipment to your home's actual needs, especially important after insulation and air sealing have reduced those needs.
The envelope first advantage
Here is something most HVAC companies will not tell you: the best heating upgrade often starts in the attic. Sealing and insulating your home first means your new system can be smaller, less expensive, and more effective. Because we do both, we can plan them together, and the utility program rewards that whole home approach with larger rebates.
Two programs can help pay for your heating upgrade
Whole Home Energy Solutions
Heating upgrades installed within a Whole Home project count toward rebates of up to $7,500 and up to $25,000 in 0% financing repaid through your utility bill.
PSE&G Building Decarbonization
Replacing a fossil fuel heating system with a cold climate heat pump can earn up to $10,000 ($12,000 for income qualified households), with0% financing up to $50,000 on its own or up to $75,000 when combined with a Whole Home project.
The two programs can be stacked on the same project. Your exact incentives depend on your utility and your home, and your audit report shows your specific numbers before you commit to anything.
Installed by a whole home contractor
Ciel Power is a BPI GoldStar contractor, a four time ENERGY STAR Contractor of the Year, and a PSE&G Top 10 Contractor. Because we handle the envelope and the equipment, your heating system is designed around your home as it will be, not as it was.
Frequently asked questions
My furnace still works. Should I really replace it?
Not necessarily, and we will tell you honestly. If your system has useful life left, envelope improvements usually come first. If it is near the end, planning the replacement now, under current program terms, beats an emergency swap in January at full price.
Furnace or heat pump?
It depends on your home, your fuel, your electrical service, and your goals. Your audit models both paths with real numbers so you can decide with clarity instead of sales pressure.
What incentives apply to heating?
Heating upgrades within a Whole Home project count toward rebates of up to $7,500 plus 0% financing. Heat pump conversions can add Building Decarbonization rebates of up to $10,000 on top ($12,000 for income qualified households). Your report itemizes what your project qualifies for.
How does the 0% financing work?
Qualifying projects are financed interest free and repaid through your regular utility bill: up to $25,000 for Whole Home projects, up to $50,000 for standalone PSE&G Building Decarbonization projects, and up to $75,000 when the two programs are combined on the same project. For PSE&G's on bill programs, qualification is based on your utility payment history rather than a credit check.
Do you handle permits and inspections?
Yes, wherever they are required. It is part of the project.
Is there a deadline?
Current program terms run through June 30, 2027. Program funding and guidelines can change, so completing your project under the current terms is the safest path.
