Middle Island Volunteer Fire Department Secures Thousands of Dollars in Energy Efficiency Rebates from PSEG Long Island

(UNIONDALE, N.Y. – Dec. 3, 2025) PSEG Long Island applauds the Middle Island Volunteer Fire Department for including energy efficiency measures in its recent building improvement projects at its firehouses.
 
The fire department received energy efficiency rebates of $8,147 from PSEG Long Island. Replacing lighting fixtures and lights, resulted in more than $4,000 in rebates, and upgrading the heating and cooling systems to energy efficient heat pumps resulted in more than $4,100 in rebates. Implementing these energy saving measures is expected to save the fire department nearly $4,000 on its energy costs each year. 

“Congratulations to the Middle Island Fire Department for keeping an eye on saving energy while making building improvements to its firehouses with heating, cooling and lighting measures. We commend the department for being good stewards of their finances and the earth.”

-  Michael Voltz, Director of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, PSEG Long Island

“We are absolutely thrilled with the support from PSEG Long Island’s Commercial Efficiency Rebate Program, which saved us thousands of dollars we can now allocate toward essential public safety services and equipment for the community,” said Matthew Gropper, Middle Island Fire Department assistant fire district manager. “The program is helping us demonstrate our commitment to sustainable and cost-effective operations and allowing us to invest in critical infrastructure upgrades that improve our facilities and significantly reduce our operating costs. The Middle Island Fire District encourages other local organizations and fire departments to find out about saving opportunities that are available; the process has been incredibly straightforward.”
