A $100 rebate from Cash for Appliances Washington is available on qualified Energy Star clothes washers that are purchased after March 15, 2010 and until December 1, 2011 or until funds run out.
The other portion comes from PSE rebates that range from $50-100. PSE residential electric customers can qualify for one of three levels of utility rebates ($50, $75, $100) for premium-efficiency clothes washers that meet the energy- and water- efficiency standards of the WashWise program, a partnership of participating electric and water utilities.
Cash for Appliances Washington also provides a $75 rebate on new Energy Star refrigerators when the old one is recycled. PSE is partnering with Appliance Recycling Centers of America (ARCA) to offer curbside appliance recycling for PSE electric customers participating in the state’s refrigerator-replacement program.
For a fee, ARCA will pick up old refrigerators and provide the required recycling verification needed to obtain the $75 state rebate.
PSE also offers free pick up and $30 to residential electric customers who recycle their extra refrigerators and freezers.
The company said that the utility offers several other rebates and incentives for home improvements and equipment that reduce energy use and lower bills, such as discounted Energy Star qualified light bulbs and fixtures, HomePrint home energy evaluations, upgrades to windows and insulation, and efficient water heaters and home heating equipment. Many of these same measures also qualify for as much as $1,500 in federal tax credits.
