ENERGY STAR® Appliances

  • ENERGY STAR® Clothes washers
    ENERGY STAR® qualified clothes washers clean clothes using 50% less energy than standard washers. Most ENERGY STAR® qualified washers extract more water from clothes during the spin cycle. This reduces the drying time and saves energy and wear and tear on your clothes.
    Rebate: $70 - Heat provided by electric water heater (Clothes washer must have MEF of >1.8)
    Rebate: $25 - Heat provided by gas water heater      (Clothes washer must have MEF of >1.8)
  • ENERGY STAR® Dishwasher (Dishwasher rebate only offered through September 30, 2010)

  • ENERGY STAR® Refrigerator
    ENERGY STAR® qualified refrigerators provide energy savings without sacrificing the features you want. ENERGY STAR® qualified refrigerator models use high efficiency compressors, improved insulation, and more precise temperature and defrost mechanisms to improve energy efficiency.
