PSEG and Contractor Franklin Energy Offer Free Home Energy Assessments – msnNOW

MILLBURN, NJ – PSEG has announced that beginning on January 30,, PSEG contractor Franklin Energy will begin to conduct door-to-door visits between 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.to educate and register customers for a free Quick Home Energy Check-up (QHEC).  

Franklin Energy shared, “Employees will check in with the Millburn Township police department daily, have an ID badge and will wear a shirt with their co-branded Franklin Energy and PSE&> logo.“ 

Residents can schedule a QHEC, which is a walk-through of their home with an energy adviser, either in person or remotely (using a smartphone). The energy adviser will look at the home and identify areas where it could be wasting energy.

Common energy leaking culprits include

insulation levels in walls, ceilings and attics

air leakage around windows and doors

heating and cooling systems

lighting fixtures

appliances

water heating equipment

PSEG stated, “During in-person visits, PSEG contractor Franklin Energy will install energy-saving products such as LED light bulbs, faucet aerators and smart power strips – at no cost.”(Limited supply per household and where applicable. See https://homeenergy.pseg.com/energycheckup [nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com] for details.)

A customized report with actions that customers can take to lower their energy use and expense will be provided after the assessment. PSE&> also reported, “The results of a QHEC assessment could determine their eligibility for the Home Weatherization program which provides up to $7,500 in additional energy efficiency upgrades for income-eligible homeowners.”  

Franklin Energy employees will bring program brochures and product samples as well as PSEG reusable bags to give customers, helping identify them as part of the PSEG team.

 If you have questions – or to schedule your own QHEC so you are prepared to reply to constituent inquiries, please contact Franklin Energy’s QHEC Program Manager Taylor Adler at (201) 928 -7740 or tadler@franklinenergy.com.
