NJ Direct Install

NJ Direct Install Program offers an incentive where utilities cover 80% of the cost for your energy efficiency upgrades!

Improving energy efficiency and cutting down on energy expenses can be daunting, especially when figuring out where to begin and navigating the process. That’s where the NJ Direct Install program steps in, tailored specifically for small to mid-sized existing facilities in New Jersey. It’s also known as Small Business Direct Install or SBDI, and it’s a valuable incentive provided by the state’s gas and electric utility companies.

Participating in NJ Direct Install offers a seamless solution that simplifies and makes it affordable to upgrade outdated operational equipment like lighting and HVAC systems. Aimed at commercial and institutional buildings with an average peak electric demand of 200 kW or less, this program pinpoints proven methods for slashing utility costs by replacing inefficient equipment with high-efficiency alternatives.

What’s more, qualified participants can rest assured that the measures suggested are not only effective but also cost-effective. NJ Direct Install covers a significant portion of the retrofit costs, footing 70% of the bill. This significantly boosts the project’s return on investment, as you’re only responsible for covering the remaining 30% of the expenses while enjoying 100% of the energy savings for years to come.

This incentive makes a compelling argument for swapping out old, inefficient HVAC, mechanical, and lighting systems that may be nearing the end of their useful life.

An important update to note: Starting from FY-2022, buildings with peak electric demand of 100 kW or less (Tier 1 customers), non-profit organizations, and those situated in Urban Enterprise Zones or Opportunity Zones may qualify for up to 80% coverage of the installed measures’ costs!

The NJ Direct Install initiative extends its support to a diverse range of energy-saving measures, encompassing:

Packaged Rooftop Units
Split Systems
Boilers
Furnaces
Heat Pumps
Programmable Thermostats

Motors
Electric Lighting
Lighting Controls
Domestic Hot Water Heaters
