Save Money Two Ways

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.

 

How to apply for a rebate

  1. Contact ERMU at 763.441.2020 before purchasing equipment to ensure that rebate funds are still available.
  2. Select and purchase qualifying equipment.
  3. Complete the Energy Efficient Appliance Rebate application.
  4. Appliance information section must be completely filled out.
  5. Submit the completed rebate application and a copy of the invoice or itemized receipt to ERMU by mail or electronically on our website.

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.

Refrigerators and Freezers

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.

Refrigerator or Freezer Harvest Program

If you have an old refrigerator or freezer, ERMU will pay $100 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.
