Most Princeton homes heat with gas. Here is what switching to a heat pump looks like financially.
Princeton has 5,000 heating degree days (Climate Zone 5). Cold-climate models are recommended for reliable performance below 5°F.
950 cooling degree days. Moderate cooling needs. A heat pump replaces both your AC and heating system for year-round comfort.
We install heat pumps with our own crews across New Jersey. No subcontractors, no lead selling.
Our crews live in New Jersey. We know PSE&G rebate paperwork, local permits, and Princeton building codes.
Climate Zone 5 requires proper equipment sizing. We use Manual J calculations for every Princeton installation.
We handle all New Jersey rebate applications for you. NJ Whole Home paperwork, utility filings, and income-eligible programs if you qualify.
No overselling. We match the heat pump to your Princeton home's actual heating and cooling load, not a one-size-fits-all formula.
NuWatt's New Jersey team will assess your home, recommend the right system, handle all rebate paperwork, and give you an honest price.
