Program Overview

The New Jersey Comfort Partners Program is a free energy saving and energy education program for qualified low-income customers.  We partner with you to help you save energy and money and make your home more energy efficient.  Certified Building Performance Institute contractors will install energy saving measures in your home to help lower your energy bills.  You will also be taught new ways to conserve energy and how to create an Action Plan to support your efforts. 

In September 2009 the program announced it had served over 50,000 homes since the program started in 2001.  Read what others are saying that have participated in this worthwhile program, or watch this short video highlighting the 50,000th home from Linden, New Jersey.
