See the ways to pay lessOnce you're paying a fair rate, we help you cut waste — the low-effort efficiency moves and habits that quietly shrink your monthly usage.
Learn howShift when and how you use energy to match the best rates and programs — plus rebates and incentives most residents never hear about.
Learn howSame electricity, lower price. In New Jersey you have real options to cut the supply side of your bill — this is the easiest place to start, and where we begin with every customer.
Subscribe to a share of a local solar farm — no rooftop panels, no equipment, nothing installed at your home. Your share shows up as credits on your regular bill, and you pay less than the credits are worth. Renters welcome.
New Jersey is deregulated, so you can buy the supply half of your bill from a licensed supplier instead of the utility default. The trick is discipline: only switch to a fixed rate that beats the "Price to Compare" printed on your bill.
Default and variable rates drift, and can spike hard in peak season. Locking a fixed supply rate freezes your price for the term — budget certainty and no nasty winter surprises.
Many New Jersey towns bid out their residents' electric supply in bulk to win a better rate (Government Energy Aggregation). If yours runs a program, you may already be enrolled — and can opt out anytime.
New Jersey is rolling out incentives for home batteries — store cheaper power to lean on at peak, and keep the lights on during outages. The residential program is on the way, and we're watching it closely.
You don't have to sort out which of these fits you. Upload a recent bill and we'll prepare a no-obligation summary of what you're paying now and the options available in your market.
Community Solar's 15% discount is program-guaranteed; supplier and town-aggregation savings depend on the market and your current Price to Compare — so we verify every option against your actual bill before recommending it.

Sample figures shown for illustration. Your real numbers come straight from your uploaded bill.
Proven moves that shrink how much energy your home uses. Most are free or nearly free. Figures below are from the U.S. Dept. of Energy and ENERGY STAR.
It's nearly half your energy bill — over $900/yr for the average home. Set your thermostat back 7–10° while you sleep or are away, or let a smart thermostat do it automatically.
Swap your most-used bulbs for ENERGY STAR LEDs. They use at least 75% less electricity and last up to 25× longer, so you buy far fewer bulbs too.
Almost all the energy a washer uses goes to heating water, not running the machine. The cold setting cleans most everyday loads just as well.
Water heating is often the second-largest energy expense in a home, and many tanks ship set hotter than needed. 120°F saves energy and lowers scald risk.
TVs, game consoles, chargers and computers draw power even when they're off. Put clusters on a switchable power strip and cut them off when not in use.
Fans cool people, not rooms. Running one lets you raise the AC about 4° with no change in comfort — just switch it off when you leave the room.
Pick a baseline — 68°F in winter, 78°F in summer — and stop nudging it. Every override erases the savings your schedule was making.
A clogged filter makes your system work harder for the same comfort. Check it monthly in peak season, change it about every 3 months, and get an annual tune-up.
Seal leaks around windows, doors and attic penetrations, then top up attic insulation. Caulk and weatherstripping often pay back in under a year.
These are national averages — your real dollars depend on local rates, your climate, and whether you heat with electricity or gas (cold-water laundry and water-heater savings are largest in all-electric homes). From your bill, we pinpoint the moves that matter most for your home. Sources: energy.gov, energystar.gov, FTC.
These are the real PSE&G programs and timing moves that put money back in your pocket. On JCP&L, Atlantic City Electric, or Rockland Electric? The playbook's the same — we match you to your utility's version.
Move off PSE&G's flat rate to the Time-of-Use rate: cheaper overnight (12–6 a.m.) and midday, pricier weekday evenings (4–9 p.m.). It's the master switch — nothing else about timing pays off until your rate varies by hour.
Once you're on Time-of-Use, run the big machines outside the 4–9 p.m. weekday peak. Weekends and holidays have no peak hours at all, so Saturday laundry is a free-for-all.
New Jersey is deregulated, so you can shop the supply half of your bill. Check the "Price to Compare" on your PSE&G statement, then only switch to a fixed offer that beats it — and steer clear of teaser variable rates.
PSE&G discounts ENERGY STAR smart thermostats right at checkout, so the hardware is nearly free — and it's what makes the scheduling and pre-cooling moves automatic.
Let PSE&G ease your usage on a handful of peak-demand days and they pay you. FlexPower nudges your smart thermostat automatically; SmartFlex pays you to cut back manually — great for renters.
Cool the house during the cheaper midday hours, then coast with a higher setpoint from 4–9 p.m. You buy the same comfort with cheaper kilowatt-hours — PSE&G recommends this with the TOU rate.
Set the car to start charging after midnight so your biggest load lands in the cheapest tier. Separately, PSE&G covers most of the cost of running power to your charger.
Book PSE&G's free, roughly one-hour Whole Home Energy Assessment. You get quick fixes installed on the spot — and it's the gateway to New Jersey's biggest home-upgrade rebates.
If your household is income-eligible, New Jersey's Comfort Partners program installs efficiency upgrades at no cost to you. Always worth checking before you pay for anything yourself.
Heads-up for 2026: the federal 25C / 25D home-energy tax credits ended Dec 31, 2025 — so PSE&G and New Jersey programs are where the savings are now. Program terms, credits, and peak hours are set by PSE&G and change over time, so we confirm what's current and what you qualify for before you enroll.
