No electric utility is on file for Mount Olive on this door yet, so this page does not name one; the name on the bill decides which rebate path applies.
JCP&L Clean Comfort (residential building decarbonization), run by JCP&L, is a live program for New Jersey addresses and covers qualifying equipment at $7,500 per system (registry row 8 verified 2026-10-15, https://www.neifund.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/0925_JCPL_Res_Bldg-Decarb_5860532_FRM_Rebate-Application_2025.pdf, checked 2026-10-16); confirm eligibility for the Mount Olive address before counting it. With 19% of Mount Olive homes already on electric heat and 79% on gas, oil or propane, the row that applies depends on the name on the electric bill and the fuel coming out.
Median household income in Mount Olive is $117,394 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=060XX00US3402749080, checked 2026-10-19); many state and utility heat pump rebate programs set higher incentive tiers for income-qualifying households, so the household income on the application, not the town median, decides which level applies.
Heating design temperature: 6F.

That 6F figure is the Morris County cold-day number a Mount Olive heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 6F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 62% of Mount Olive on gas and 19% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Mount Olive home has 6 rooms and was built around 1978, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
