$30 for Clothes Washer
$50 for Clothes Dryer
Clothes Washer
An ENERGY STAR qualified clothes washer cleans clothes using approximately 20% less energy and 35% less water than a standard washer. The Modified Energy Factor (MEF) measures the energy used during the washing process, including machine energy, water heating and moisture removal. The higher the MEF, the more efficient the clothes washer is. To qualify for incentives, the MEF must be 2.0 or higher.
To receive a $30 incentive, members must submit the incentive application along with the proof of purchase, make and model number of the clothes washer. To qualify for the incentive, the clothes washer must be electric.
Clothes Dryer
An ENERGY STAR certified dryer uses 20 percent less energy than conventional models without sacrificing features or performance. They do this using innovative energy saving technologies, such as moisture sensors that detect when clothes are dry and automatically shut the dryer off. Many ENERGY STAR dryers also include convenient features, such as steam cycles that can help save time on ironing clothes by preventing wrinkles.
To receive a $50 incentive, members must submit the incentive application along with proof of purchase, make and model number of the clothes dryer. To qualify for the incentive, the clothes dryer must be electric.
