Energy Star® Appliance Rebates &
Refrigerator/Freezer Recycling Credits

To help you make the most of your energy, United Power members can now receive rebates on the purchase of NEW Energy Star® qualified appliances. Rebates are available on select refrigerators, freezers, clothes washers and dishwashers. United Power will also provide a recycling credit when you have your old refrigerator or freezer hauled away and recycled. United Power reserves the right to inspect the installation of any rebated appliance. Please review program details very carefully.

Applications must be submitted within 180 days of purchase. Appliance rebates and recycling credits will be issued as a credit on your electric bill. Please allow at least two billing cycles for rebate to appear. For more information, contact United Power's Energy Management Team at 303-659-0551.

**United Power is awaiting the announcement of appliance rebates from the State of Colorado. Appliance purchases made before the State of Colorado announces their program will not qualify for State of Colorado rebates. United Power's Appliance Rebates are in full effect as of January 1, 2010.**

Refrigerator/Freezer Recycling Credits

When an old refrigerator is moved to a garage or basement, it takes twice as much energy to keep your food cold and can cost over $100 a year to operate. To encourage recycling of old refrigerators, United Power members now qualify for a substantial refrigerator/freezer recycling credit to properly dispose of their old refrigerator or freezer. Don't move that old refrigerator to the garage, recycle it to save energy and money!

Frequently Asked Questions

Why isn't there a rebate for clothes dryers?

Typically, clothes dryers do not receive the Energy Star® label. The best way to improve efficiency and save energy while doing laundry is by improving the efficiency of your clothes washer. High-efficiency clothes washers use less water to wash and wring out more water from your clothes, which means your dryer doesn't have to work as hard or run as long.

Why do you need the original EnergyGuide label from my appliance?

The ORIGINAL EnergyGuide label is required for all rebate requests in order to verify purchase of an approved Energy Star® appliance. Your model number should appear in the upper right corner of your EnergyGuide label.

I didn't buy a new refrigerator, but I want to recycle the one in my garage. Can I get a Recycling Credit?

Yes. United Power's Recycling Credit is available to members for recycling old refrigerators. You must provide proof that either a retailer hauled your old appliance away or that a reputable appliance recycler disposed of your refrigerator or freezer.
