Save on energy-efficient home appliances

You might qualify for rebates on energy-efficient home appliances

Energy-efficient home appliances appeal to many homeowners who want to save money on the rising cost of utility bills and also to support the environment by consuming less energy and having a smaller carbon footprint. Financial incentives and rebate programs can help to offset the initial purchase cost but many people buy without even knowing that they were eligible for these savings. In some cases, you could be eligible for a rebate or a tax credit on home appliances you’ve already purchased.

Below are some places to check for rebates or other savings programs on energy-saving home appliances before you buy.

Search by state on Energy.gov for information on tax credits, rebates, and savings from government agencies and a host of other sources. Enter your zip code at Energystar.gov to find rebates and other special offers in your area.

Local Utility Programs

Many local utilities offer incentives to consumers to purchase energy-efficient home appliances and can sometimes even remove old appliances at no cost to the customer.

Retailer Sites

Major national retailers often have dedicated pages to help you find available rebates for energy-saving home appliances in your area.

Manufacturer Sites

Visit the manufacturer brand site to see if they have any temporary price-savings or rebate programs available.

Purchasing energy saving home appliances is an investment that will pay off in the long run. Knowing where to save money before you buy can help to lessen some of your short-term budget concerns.
