NJ Direct Install
NJ Direct Install Program - Utility incentive pays 80% of your energy efficiency upgrade!
Sometimes, the most challenging part of improving energy efficiency and reducing energy costs is knowing where to start and how to move through the process. Created specifically for existing small to mid-sized facilities, NJ Direct Install (a.k.a. Small Business Direct Install or SBDI) is a valuable incentive offering from New Jersey’s gas and electric utility companies. Participating in the NJ Direct Install program provides a turnkey solution that makes it easy and affordable to upgrade old lighting, HVAC, and other outdated operational equipment.
Tailored specifically to the needs of those who operate commercial and institutional buildings with average peak electric demand less than or equal to 200 kW, NJ Direct Install identifies proven measures for reducing your utility costs by replacing inefficient equipment with high-efficiency alternatives. Qualified participants have the benefit of knowing exactly which measures are going to be cost-effective; and (most importantly) Direct Install covers 70% of the retrofit costs, dramatically improving your payback on the project!
This means you’re responsible to pay only 30% of the cost, but you reap 100% of the energy savings for years to come. NJ Direct Install makes a compelling case for replacing old, inefficient HVAC, mechanical, and lighting equipment that may be approaching the end of its useful operating life.
Important Update: As of FY-2022, buildings with peak electric demand less than or equal to 100 kW (Tier 1 customers), non-profit organizations, and those located in an Urban Enterprise Zone or Opportunity Zone may be eligible for up to 80% of the cost of the installed measures!
