HVAC Portal
Note: Select energy efficiency programs for existing homes are transitioning to the utility companies
To learn more about this transition and for utility contact information please visit this page.
Utility customers who purchased appliances or HVAC equipment prior to July 1, 2021 may still submit their projects to NJCEP’s Appliance Rebate Program or the WARM/COOL Advantage Program for heating, cooling, and water heating equipment. Customers will have 180 days to submit their rebate. Appliances and HVAC equipment purchased on or after July 1, 2021 will be eligible for utility-run rebate programs.
The Appliance Recycling Program will no longer be available beginning July 1, 2021. All appliance pick-ups through NJCEP must be completed by June 30, 2021. Please contact your utility for more information about available recycling programs if you are unable to schedule a Recycling Pickup before June 30, 2021.
HVAC Portal Information
The HVAC Portal provides contractors and customers with access to online application portals for the WARM and COOLAdvantage Programs.
You may find the abbreviated guide of how to use the online portal helpful.
It is highly recommended that customers or contractors submit applications online for quick and easy submissions. The HVAC portals can also be accessed and utilized via Tablet and Smart Phones (Android, iPhone).

HVAC Processing Update as of 06.07.21
- The HVAC program (WARM/COOLAdvantage) has been experiencing longer than normal delays in processing rebate applications. We are working diligently to get caught up and appreciate your patience as we do our best to process all applications. This timeline will be revised/updated periodically as we work through our backlog and towards reducing our processing timeframes.
- As we go through the application review process, we may need to contact you for any missing or incomplete information before we can confirm your eligibility for a rebate. Please be diligent in providing the missing information as soon as you can to avoid further delays.
- Applications received end of February are now being reviewed. We will continue to update this information on a weekly basis.
- When your application has been approved for a rebate, you will receive notification by email. From that point, you can expect to receive your rebate within 60 days.
- As a reminder, customers and contractors can check on the status of individual applications at any time via the portals above.
