Residential CLOTHES WASHER Rebate Program

$100 rebate for new qualifying High Efficiency

Clothes Washer!

Save Energy and Water: Clothes washers account for more than 20% of water used inside the home. Conventional clothes washers can use more than 40 gallons per load (gpl). In contrast, an HECW uses about 18-25 gpl and can hold larger loads! Using an HECW reduces water use and energy consumption. This adds up to savings for you and a big boost for the environment. Replacing old washers with HECW models helps ensure the future water supply is adequate and helps maintain low water rates.

City of Fresno residential customers may be eligible for a rebate when they purchase a new qualifying high efficiency Clothes Washer. All qualifying clothes washers must have an ENERGY STAR label. Your retailer can help you find the ENERGY STAR washer, or find qualifying washers at: http://marketplace.pge.com/washers/
