Rockland Electric Clean Heat Program

Modern comfort, premium HVAC, concierge delivery—now with major incentives for RECO customers.

If your home is served by Rockland Electric Company (RECO) in New Jersey, you may qualify for high-value rebates on heat pumps and 0% APR financing to make the upgrade seamless.

What Is the Clean Heat Program?

The Clean Heat Program helps Rockland Electric’s New Jersey residential customers adopt high-efficiency, low-emission technologies, including cold-climate air-source heat pumps (ccASHP), ground-source (geothermal) heat pumps (GSHP), dual-heat/hybrid configurations, and heat pump water heaters (HPWHs).

Weatherization—insulation and air-sealing—is encouraged first to increase performance and support incentive eligibility.

Who’s Eligible?

  • You’re a residential customer of Rockland Electric Company (New Jersey).

  • The equipment and design meet program technical requirements.

  • You work with a participating contractor (Ciel Power handles program compliance and paperwork for you).

How the Process Works

Step 1 — $99 Home Energy Audit

We evaluate your building shell, existing equipment, and comfort goals. (Your $99 audit is credited to your project when you proceed.)

Step 2 — Weatherization Plan (if needed)

Insulation, air-sealing, and duct improvements come first to stabilize loads and enhance performance.

Step 3 — Heat Pump Design

We design ccASHP, GSHP, or dual-heat/hybrid solutions that fit your home and preferences (zoning, controls, acoustics, aesthetics).

Step 4 — Incentives & 0% APR

We prepare the Clean Heat rebate package and align it with 0% APR financing options for a streamlined approval.

Step 5 — Installation & Commissioning

Program-compliant installation, startup, and quality checks—plus guidance on system settings.

Step 6 — Post-Install Support

We remain available for follow-ups, controls tuning, and future enhancements.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ’S)

  • Not necessarily. Many homeowners choose dual-heat/hybrid configurations that integrate a heat pump with existing equipment. We’ll design around your comfort goals and program rules.

  • ccASHP units maintain output and efficiency at lower outdoor temperatures common in NJ winters. They’re engineered for steady comfort when it’s cold.

  • Weatherization reduces load, improves comfort, and often helps right-size the equipment—which supports performance and can help with incentive eligibility.

Important Notes & Disclaimers

  • Eligibility, rebate amounts, and financing terms depend on program rules, equipment specs, household qualification, and design; they are subject to change.

  • Financing is administered by the program’s finance partner; credit and underwriting apply.

  • No lien language and instant approvals refer to the current finance partner’s standard terms; we’ll confirm specifics during your application.

  • We do not make claims of utility-bill cost savings from electrification or heat pump transitions; results vary by home, equipment, and utility rates.

Ciel Power manages paperwork and compliance steps to streamline your experience; final approvals rest with the program administrator and finance partner.
