High Efficiency Clothes Washers

Get a $50 Rebate

Clothes Washer

High-efficiency clothes washers use less water and remove more moisture from clothes during the spin cycle. This shortens the drying time and reduces wear and tear on your clothes while using less energy than standard clothes washers (those manufactured before 1994). Now get a $50 rebate for qualifying high efficiency models.

Under California law, models of certain types of appliances, for example, refrigerators, dishwashers and clothes washers etc., must be certified to the California Energy Commission before being sold or offered for sale in the state. The Energy Commission maintains a database of those appliances, found at the following link: www.appliances.energy.ca.gov. Before purchasing this type of appliance, please consult the Energy Commission's database to see if the particular model of the appliance you want to buy is in the database. Not all products listed in this database are eligible for utility rebates as they do not all meet the higher energy performance requirements of the utility programs.
