MYFOXNY.COM - The Long Island Power Authority is offering its customers -- through September -- a $75 rebate when they purchase a standard-size Energy Star refrigerator larger than 7.5 cubic feet.
Did you know in most households the refrigerator is the single highest energy consuming kitchen appliance. New ENERGY STAR® qualified refrigerators are at least 20% more efficient than a new conventional model and 40% more efficient then models sold in 2001. If you replace a refrigerator bought in 1990 with a new ENERGY STAR qualified model you can save enough energy to light the average household for nearly 4 months.
New ENERGY STAR® refrigerators:
Have high efficiency compressors
Are made with improved insulation
Have more precise temperature and defrost mechanisms.
Are available in top, bottom, and side by side freezer styles
For a limited time only, LIPA is offering residential
customers $75 back on the purchase of select standard size ENERGY
STAR qualified refrigerators larger than 7.5 cubic feet.
