Appliances that are ENERGY STAR® rated save you money in two ways: They use less energy and they may qualify for rebates from ERMU. By purchasing energy efficient appliances, you’ll conserve natural resources by using less energy and less water, which helps to reduce long-term utility rates and control energy costs.
ENERGY STAR® appliances may cost more, but they’re worth it. The additional cost is quickly recouped with applicable rebates and energy savings. Look for products with the ENERGY STAR® logo to be sure that all your electric appliances are energy efficient and ENERGY STAR® certified.
The rebate will be processed in the form of a credit on your electric utility bill. Applicant must be an ERMU electric customer to qualify.
ENERGY STAR® refrigerators and freezers qualify for a $75 rebate from ERMU only if you recycle your old working unit. New refrigerators or freezers purchased without recycling are no longer eligible for a rebate. Your receipt must indicate that the old unit was hauled away for recycling. Refrigerator must be 14 cubic feet or larger to qualify for the rebate.
If you have an old refrigerator or freezer, ERMU will pay $75 to recycle it. You cannot combine this rebate with the new refrigerator/freezer purchase, and the refrigerator or freezer must be working at the time of recycling. Units that have been sold or donated do not qualify; you must provide a receipt with proof of recycling.
