Why New Jersey runs above the US average
Heat pump pricing in New Jersey reflects three factors: licensed HVAC installer wages (BLS), local utility rebate programs that often pay $500-$1,500 on top of the federal credit, and climate-driven equipment selection (cold-climate units are 10-20% more expensive than baseline air-source). The 1.32× factor is calibrated from 2025 HomeAdvisor + ENERGY STAR install cost data.
Local note · New Jersey: NJ Clean Energy Program rebates $800-$10,000 + sales-tax exemption on ENERGY STAR units.
