NJ Clean Energy Program - Experiences?

[Andrew B.]

Not really 100% investing related, but I'm closing on a house soon which will be a primary residence. It hasn't been updated in many years. I'll be replacing appliances, A/C, etc. 

I've found that I can get a lot of rebates through NJ Clean Energy program. (Link below)

Some of the things I'm looking into is rebates on thermostats, rebates on energy efficient appliances, hopefully some rebates and 0% financing on a new a/c unit and insulation. 

There is also an option to have a contractor come assess your house and let you know what you're eligible for, but that's $50 and I think they're independent (energy star certified???) contractors. 

My questions is, has anybody utilized any of these programs before and can share experiences? Did you get your rebates? Did anybody ever pay for their in home assessment?
