| Residential Rebates & Incentives |
|
| Austin Utilities, Owatonna Public Utilities, and Rochester Public Utilities are TEAMING UP to save you money. We're offering great rebates to residential customers who purchase energy efficient appliances and heating and cooling equipment. |
|
| Just visit your appliance dealer or HVAC contractor and look for products with the ENERGY STAR® label that meet our Minimum Efficiency Requirements (MER)*. When you purchase your energy saving equipment, ask your dealer or contractor for a rebate application, fill it out, attach your receipt, and send it to your utility! |
|
| CONSERVE energy for the environment and SAVE money for yourself. It's our way of TEAMING UP to save you money! |
|
| Residential Customers |
| With CONSERVE & SAVE, our rebates save you money on your purchase, and energy efficient appliances and equipment will save you money on your monthly utility bills. |
|
| For example, an ENERGY STAR® refrigerator uses half the electricity of a standard 10-year-old refrigerator. An energy efficient clothes washer can use up to 70% less energy than older models. That kind of savings in energy consumption translates to hundreds of dollars in savings over the life of your appliances. That's good for you and good for the environment, because you'll be using less of nature's valuable resources. |
