El Paso Electric Refigerator-Freezer Rebate
El Paso Electric customers can now qualify for up to a $315 rebate toward replacing older refrigerators and freezers with newer, Energy Star certified units, as long as they have the older ones picked up for free and recycled to receive an additional $30 reward, accoding to an El Paso Electric news release.
The rebate offer is funded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, known as ARRA. Part of the federal stimulus package, ARRA encourages people to save money on electrical costs by upgrading to more energy-efficient refrigerators and freezers. At the same time, it helps maintain and build green jobs through the safe recycling of older refrigerators.
If customers have an older, working refrigerator or freezer, they are probably losing up to $150 a year in wasted electricity. That?s because older units are far less energy efficient than newer, Energy Star certified refrigerators and freezers. To get started, they can call 1-877-643-1956 or visit www.epelectric.com to find out more and schedule a pickup time for the older appliance. A check for $30 will be mailed within four to six weeks after the older appliance is picked up.
Texas residents can reserve the $315 rebate toward a new, Energy Star rated refrigerator and freezer by visiting the ?Texas Trade Up? offer on-line at www.texaspowerfulsmart.com/rebate. Rebate funds are limited, so acting quickly is advised. The rebate check is mailed after a new refrigerator or freezer is purchased.
