ROEBLING, NJ — The Plumbing-Heating-Cooling Contractors of New Jersey (PHCC-NJ) is calling on the state Board of Public Utilities (BPU) to take a closer look at possible cross-subsidization between electric and gas utilities and their unregulated subsidiaries in the appliance installation and repair business.

Association representatives have held recent meetings with both BPU staff and the Public Advocate to present instances of what they believe to be improper support being given by New Jersey’s largest utility, Public Service Electric and Gas (PSE&G), to its unregulated service arm.
