Assemblyman John Ceretto (R,I-Lewiston) is pleased to announce that the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) has unveiled a new $3 million rebate program for the purchase of high-efficiency Energy Star refrigerators and washing machines. Assemblyman Ceretto noted that the program will begin next Friday, September 2.
According to NYSERDA, rebates of $350 will be available for high-efficiency refrigerators and $250 for high-efficiency washing machines that meet Consortium for Energy Efficiency super-efficiency levels.
“This is a great opportunity to go green and save some green while purchasing new appliances for one’s home,” said Ceretto. “However, the appliance-rebate program is on a first-come, first-served basis, so I am encouraging Niagara County residents to sign up for the program as soon as possible.”
Rebates will be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis for completed applications, which will be available on a special website to be launched prior to the kickoff date or by calling 1-877- NY-SMART (877-697-6278). Purchases made before September 2, 2011, are not eligible for rebates. The program will continue until funding runs out.
The new rebate program, known as “Buy Green, Save Green NYS High-Efficiency Appliance Rebate Program,” is being supported by federal funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and approved through the U.S. Department of Energy for use by New York State.
