Minnesota "Trade-In and Save" Appliance Program |
| |
The “Trade-in & Save” Appliance Program will offer Minnesota residents a rebate for replacing their old appliance with an ENERGY STAR model. Nearly $5 million in rebates will be offered beginning March 1. The Minnesota Office of Energy Security (OES) encourages residents to start planning their purchase and use this rebate to “trade up” to the most energy and water efficient appliance that fits their budget. ENERGY STAR appliances can save $75 a year in energy costs, while benefiting the environment as well. Learn more about the benefits of Energy Star appliances.
Purchases can be made at any retailer located in Minnesota. Rebates are not retroactive. The “Trade-In & Save” rebates are limited. Rebate reservations begin March 1, 2010, 8:00 a.m. CST at www.MNApplianceRebate.com , or by calling 877-230-9119. |
