Appliance rebates
General advice. Each program’s own rules come first.
- Buy certified
- Appliance rebates almost always require an ENERGY STAR certified model. Check the model number before buying.
- Claim within the window
- Most programs need the receipt uploaded within a set number of days after purchase.
- Think about the panel
- Induction ranges and heat pump dryers may need a dedicated circuit. Ask an electrician before you order.
