Fridge, clothes washer rebates available
Ready to get rid of that old clunky clothes washer? How about ditching that retro refrigerator in your garage used basically for a beverage cooler?
Rebates are available for high-efficiency clothes washers and Energy Star refrigerators through the new Washington State Cash for Appliances program. Using federal stimulus funds, the state Department of Commerce is offering $100 rebates on high-efficiency clothes washers and $75 rebates on Energy Star® refrigerators.
The program is expected to result in 15,000 fridges and 45,000 clothes washers being replaced by new efficient models, saving Washington residents approximately $1,006,607 in energy costs, saving 355 million gallons of water and preventing 8,042 tons (16,083,192 lbs.) of CO2 annually.
To be eligible, consumers must recycle their old appliances and provide proof.
The appliances must be purchased on or after March 15, 2010. Rebates are available while funds last.
