Residential Rebates
Spend a little extra and save a lot!

Shopping for new appliances can be overwhelming. Not only are you looking for specific features, but you also want an appliance that is energy efficient and fits your budget. MP&W makes this task a little easier by offering rebates when you purchase electric appliances, air conditioners, and compact fluorescent bulbs that meet certain energy efficient standards. Rebate application forms are available here. Specific information about each rebate program is available below.

What appliances qualify?
To learn more about energy efficient appliances, and for a complete list of products that meet our rebate requirements, visit Energy Star's web site. Below is a complete list of our rebates and appliances qualifications:

Air Conditioners
Replacing your existing air conditioner with a new energy efficient model could cut your cooling costs by 20 to 50 percent! Air conditioner efficiency is rated by the SEER (Season Energy Efficiency Ratio) for central air conditioners or the EER (Energy Efficiency Ratio) for room air conditioners. A higher rating indicates a more efficient air conditioner.

The yellow Energy Guide label with the EER or SEER rating must be sent in with the application to receive the rebate.

Dishwashers
Efficiency of new dishwashers has improved drastically over the past few years. Replacing your old dishwasher with a new energy efficient model could save you up to 750 kWh per year, or about $45.

Refrigerators
Efficiency of new refrigerators has improved drastically over the past few years. Replacing your old refrigerator with a new energy efficient model could save you up to 1,000 kWh per year, or about $60.

New Electric Ranges & Dryers
Certain features on electric ranges and dryers affect their energy efficiency. For instance, self-cleaning ovens are more efficient because they contain more insulation. If you're purchasing a new dryer, look for a model with a cool-down cycle and moisture sensor controls. Both will help conserve energy and save you money.

Clothes Washer
Up to 90 percent of the cost of washing your clothes comes from heating the water. That's why a front-loading washing machine is such a good investment. It uses up to 60 percent less water than a traditional top loading washing machine. A front-loading washing machine rotates like your clothes dryer using only a small amount of water, instead of using a vertical agitator that turns back and forth. Standard washing machines can use as much as 20 gallons of water per load, while front loading machines use as little as four to five gallons, saving you money on both water and water heating. Front loading washing machines also clean your clothes better, have more room for larger loads and have faster spin speeds so your clothes spend less time in the dryer.

Electric Water Heaters
Water heaters are the second greatest energy consumers in the average home. They account for 15 to 25 percent of the average household energy budget. Water heater efficiency is based on the Energy Factor, or EF, of the unit. A higher EF rating indicates a more efficient water heater.

The new water heaters today are the most efficient on the market, resulting in a first year savings of $100 - $300 dollars and an annual savings of $150/year for years 2-10.

Compact Fluorescent Bulbs
Compact fluorescent bulbs are an excellent energy efficient alternative to incandescent lighting. Compact fluorescent bulbs use about 70 percent less energy than standard incandescent bulbs and last 10-13 times longer! That means you save money on your energy bill. To maximize your savings, replace the light bulbs you use most often with compact fluorescents. Also consider replacing hard-to-reach bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs so you won't have to change them as often. To learn more about compact fluorescent bulbs, click here.
