Get Reimbursed up to 70% for Retrofits

Direct Install is a turnkey solution that makes it easy and affordable to upgrade to high efficiency equipment. Willdan will provide you with a FREE energy assessment to identify eligible equipment replacements, help you complete the application/agreement, then replace the equipment in a convenient and timely way.

The program pays up to 70% of eligible retrofit costs, dramatically improving your payback on the project. For years to come, you will continue to save on utility bills and lessen the strain on our state's energy grid.

Willdan Energy Solutions was selected by New Jersey's Clean Energy Program™ to implement its Direct Install program for small and mid-sized commercial and industrial facilities in Essex and Union counties.
