As New Jersey residents are impacted by increasing energy costs, this offer reinforces NJNG’s commitment to sustainability and delivering energy-efficiency solutions to help its customers save energy, lower energy bills and reduce carbon emissions — all year long. “Our priority is ensuring our customers have easy access to tools and resources to be energy-efficient in their daily lives,” said Anne-Marie Peracchio, managing director of Marketing and Energy Efficiency at NJNG. “Through this opportunity and other cost-effective measures, NJNG is helping our community members save energy and money, while improving the comfort of their home.”

A smart thermostat user can save up to a total of $100 a year on cooling and heating costs, according to ENERGY STAR®. The free* Nest Thermostat offer complements NJNG’s overarching efforts to provide customers with access to programs to help manage their energy bills.
