PSEG Long Island
Summer’s here and temperatures are rising. Fortunately, PSEG Long Island customers can take advantage of numerous rebate and incentive programs for equipment and appliances to help reduce their energy usage and lower their bills while beating the heat.
Why does PSEG Long Island want to give our customers the tools they need to take control of their energy usage? Because usage is the biggest determining factor in the overall amount on their bills. And when more and more people take advantage of these tools, we also reduce overall peak demand, which saves all of our customers money next year.
PSEG Long Island must purchase power in advance, basing the amount on load forecasts and state-mandated capacity requirements that incorporate peak-usage levels from previous years. By reducing peak usage this year, we lower the amount of power that must be purchased in advance for next summer.
Let’s take a look at some of PSEG Long Island’s top summer rebates and incentives:
Smart Thermostats
$70 – $100 Rebates
Customers can reduce their home energy costs by installing a new ENERGY STAR® certified Smart thermostat. Programmable thermostats offer pre-programmed settings to deliver savings without sacrificing comfort.
Solar Covers and Heat Pump Pool Heaters
$75 – $1,000 Rebates
Customers with swimming pools can install an energy efficient heat pump pool heater to maximize their savings while enjoying a swim. These typically last longer than gas pool heaters and they normally have much lower annual operating costs because of their higher efficiencies. Solar pool cover rebates are available to customers who have applied for a Heat Pump Pool Heater rebate since 2020.
Lawn Equipment (Rechargeable)
$20 – $30 Rebates
Purchasing a rechargeable lawn mower, blower, and/or weed trimmer can save customers money while benefiting the environment. These powerful tools work to the same standards as their gas counterparts without producing greenhouse gas emissions.
