2026 Elizabethtown Gas Whole Home Energy Solutions Program

If you live in an older New Jersey home, you already know the pattern:
you get used to the drafts, the uneven temperatures, the hot upstairs, the cold downstairs — and the idea of fixing it feels like too big of a project.

NJNG’s SAVEGREEN program changes that equation.

Eligible New Jersey Natural Gas customers can access:

• Up to $7,500 in cash-back incentives for qualifying whole-home efficiency improvements

• Up to $25,000 in 0% interest On-Bill Repayment (OBRP) financing to spread project costs over time through the utility bill

That combination is the reason many homeowners participate: it makes it possible to improve comfort and performance.

Homeowner Support Available Through the Elizabethtown Gas Whole Home Energy Solutions Program

For many homeowners, the biggest barrier isn’t deciding what to improve — it’s figuring out how to pay for improvements and in what order to do them.

Eligible Elizabethtown Gas customers may qualify for:

• Up to $7,500 in cash-back incentives for qualifying whole-home efficiency improvements

• Up to $25,000 in On-Bill Repayment (OBR) financing to spread upgrade costs over time through the utility bill

What Elizabethtown Gas Whole Home Energy Solutions Means (In Plain English)

Whole Home Energy Solutions is a whole-home approach — it improves how your home performs as a system, not just one component at a time.

Instead of guessing, the program is designed to support:

• Assessing the home to identify the biggest opportunities

• Reducing air leakage (drafts and uncontrolled infiltration)

• Improving insulation so the home holds conditioned air

• Targeted upgrades to mechanical systems when appropriate

• Program documentation that supports incentives and financing

The goal is simple:

Make the home easier to heat and cool, so comfort improves and equipment can perform properly.

Who This Program Is For

You may be a good fit for this program if you notice any of the following:

✅ Drafts or temperature swings
✅ One floor is consistently harder to heat or cool
✅ High humidity, stale air, or uneven airflow
✅ Attic/basement/crawlspace feels extreme
✅ Older home that’s difficult to keep comfortable
✅ HVAC equipment that’s aging or due for replacement

This is also a strong starting point if you’re considering heat pumps in the future — because heat pump performance is optimized in a tight, well-insulated home.

What the Program Typically Covers

Every home is different, but most Whole Home Energy Solutions projects include a combination of:

1) Air Sealing

Targeted air sealing reduces drafts and helps stabilize comfort by limiting uncontrolled air leakage.

2) Insulation Improvements

Insulation helps the home hold conditioned air longer and maintain more even temperatures across rooms and floors.

3) Efficient Water Heating

Efficient water-heating upgrades, including heat-pump water heaters, can reduce the energy required to produce hot water and complement broader home performance improvements.

4) Heating & Cooling Upgrades

When equipment is aging or poorly matched to the home, HVAC upgrades may be part of a coordinated plan — especially after the home is tightened.

Why Starting With an Audit Helps You Maximize Incentives

A lot of homeowners aren’t excited about the idea of a Home Energy Audit. It can sound like an extra step — when what you really want is to start improving the home.

Here’s the reality:

A Home Energy Audit is a prerequisite for participating in the Elizabethtown Gas Whole Home Energy Solutions program.
The program relies on verified conditions, proper sequencing, and documentation — not guesswork.

The biggest mistake homeowners make is choosing upgrades out of order. That’s when projects run into preventable issues like delays, rework, and missed eligibility.

A Home Energy Audit helps you:

• Identify the improvements that will have the biggest impact in your home

• Confirm the correct pathway and required documentation

• Sequence upgrades so they qualify properly

• Avoid rework, delays, and missed eligibility

In other words, the audit turns “we should do something” into a clear plan — and creates the foundation utilities use to support incentives and on-bill repayment.

How On-Bill Repayment Works

On-bill repayment allows eligible homeowners to spread the cost of qualifying upgrades over time and repay through the utility bill.

• Designed to support whole-home improvements

• Helps homeowners complete projects in stages

• Subject to program terms and approval

On-bill repayment is available to eligible customers and qualified borrowers.

How Ciel Power Fits Into the Process

Ciel Power is an independent home performance contractor that helps Elizabethtown Gas customers navigate this program and implement improvements that actually work for their homes.

We are not the utility, and we don’t set program rules. Our role is to:

• Perform the Home Energy Audit (required to participate)

• Build a practical upgrade roadmap based on your home

• Coordinate program requirements and documentation

• Manage scheduling and quality control across trades

• Guide homeowners through incentives and financing steps

Because whole-home programs involve sequencing and documentation, our job is to keep projects moving cleanly and avoid common missteps.
