Energy Saving Programs
- NJ Comfort Partners is a FREE energy-saving and energy-education program designed to help qualified low-income customers reduce their energy usage and lower their energy bills while enhancing the comfort of their homes.
- Free Home Weatherization, available for income-qualified customers, includes a FREE in-home audit and the completion of measures to make their home healthier, safer, and more energy efficient.
Utility Bill Assistance Programs
- The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) aids qualifying customers with a household income at or below specific income limits. Utility heating customers typically receive an average of $300 toward their electric or gas bill. Apply online Energyassistance.nj.gov or call 1.800.510.3102.
- Also, recipients of the federal Low-Income Home Energy Program may be eligible to receive an additional grant of up to $700.00 in LIHEAP Emergency Funding. To be eligible, you must be a LIHEAP recipient and have received a shut-off notice. You may apply for a LIHEAP Emergency Grant at your local agency from March 16 through June 30 of each year.
- If you apply for LIHEAP, you are also applying for the Universal Service Fund (USF). Electric or gas utility customers can receive monthly benefits toward their utility bills. USF accepts applications year-round. Apply online at Energyassistance.nj.gov or call 1.800.510.3102.
- Payment Assistance for Gas and Electric (PAGE) is a state-funded utility assistance program that helps low to moderate-income families in New Jersey pay their utility bills. PAGE is administered by the Affordable Housing Alliance and funded by the Board of Public Utilities (BPU). If you are a NJ resident who rents or owns a home and are facing a crisis situation that includes a documented notice of overdue payment for gas and/or electric service, you may qualify.
