The Verona Home Energy Audit Program: $49 for Residents
Life in Verona runs on a familiar rhythm: the morning dash to the bus or the Bloomfield Avenue commute, weekend loops around the lake at Verona Park, and evenings back home in a neighborhood that still feels like a small town. For the families who make that commute work, every dollar counts, and for most Verona households one of the biggest hidden line items is the energy their own house wastes. Through Verona's community program, homeowners can get a professional Ciel Power home energy audit for just $49 and find out exactly where those dollars are going.
Why Verona homes benefit most
Verona's homes have real vintage charm. The median house here was built around 1954, and roughly a third of the township's homes went up before 1940. About 62 percent are detached single family houses, and nearly four in five are owner occupied; this is a town of people invested in their homes. But mid century capes, colonials, and split levels were framed in an era of inexpensive oil and thin insulation. Uninsulated wall cavities, leaky attic hatches, and aging ductwork add up, month after month, on your PSE&G bill. An energy audit turns those invisible losses into a prioritized to do list.

Frequently asked questions
Is this program really for Verona?
Yes. This page and program are specifically for homes in the Township of Verona. Verona residents pay $49 for our complete home energy audit, which is $99 for the general public (regularly $299).
What will an audit find in a typical Verona house?
With a median build year around 1954 and a third of homes predating 1940, common findings include uninsulated wall cavities, leaky attic hatches, and aging ductwork. Your report ranks the fixes by impact so you address what matters most first.
Which utility serves Verona?
Verona sits squarely in PSE&G territory for electric and gas. Your audit plugs you directly into New Jersey's Whole Home Energy Solutions program, and we handle the incentive paperwork for you.
How much will I save after upgrades?
That depends on your home's condition and which upgrades you choose, so we never promise a number up front. Improvements like insulation, air sealing, and high efficiency equipment can trim energy bills by up to 30 percent, and your audit report projects the savings for your specific house.
