Did you know that a new Energy Star efficient dishwasher uses ~31% less energy and ~33% less water than older less-efficient models? - Did you know that a freezer manufactured before 1993 will cost ~$35 more per year to run than a new Energy Star efficient freezer?
- Did you know that the most commonly used light fixture in your home if replaced with an Energy Star efficient light fixture will can save ~$70 per year on your electric bill?
For these very reasons, consumers are urged to consider new appliances and HVAC units. Not only are these new appliances good for the environment, they are good for keeping your utility bills down.
If you need any new appliances or an HVAC system, now is a good time to get them. From July 1, 2009 through May 31, 2011, PECO is offering rebates for the purchase and installation of new Energy Star efficient appliances and heating and cooling units. Rebates are being offered to both residential customers as well as business accounts. For more information on this program, the business program and rebate forms, go to PECO's website.
