Appliance Rebates for PA (and Beyond)

If you could turn yourself into a household appliance, what would you be? 🧐 A fridge stocked with goodies? A squeaky-clean dishwasher? We’d totally be a kegerator because we love to keep it ice cold. 🍻 

Energy-saving appliances ain’t cheap, but they can lower your electricity bill over time. 📉 If you’ve been waiting to make those upgrades, a new rebate program might be the answer!

 

Here’s Five Fast Facts on the new appliance rebates:

  1. ⚡ Good Energy - Before Biden left office, his administration approved more federal funding for home energy rebate programs in about a dozen states…PA included! The goal of these programs? Lower the cost of energy for working families across the country through energy-saving appliances.
  1. 💡 Sizzling Savings - Pennsylvania got the largest award of federal dollars for its rebate program: a cool $260 million. Neighboring states New Jersey and Delaware also received big bucks ($183 million and $66 million respectively).
  2. 🗓️ In Due Time - The Keystone state will roll out the rebate program sometime soon (exact quote: “early 2025”). PA, NJ, and DE all plan to offer a wide range of rebates for appliances and energy-saving home renovations.
  1. 📋 Checking Boxes - To qualify for the rebate programs, you’ll need to meet certain Income eligibility requirements. Pennsylvania and its participating two neighbor states plan to use a threshold of households earning no greater than 150% of area median income.
  1. 🔌 Rip Roarin’ Rebates - So what appliances count under the program? The world (or Home Depot) is pretty much your oyster. Rebates will cover electric stoves, electric heat pump HVAC systems, hot water heaters and clothes dryers. Making some home improvements? They’ll also cover insulation, air sealing and electric wiring.

🔥Bottom line: OK so you probably can’t apply these rebates to a new kegerator. BUT if you’re a qualifying household, this new program could help you make some upgrades and keep more of your hard earned paycheck. Speaking of new PA programs, if you have unclaimed cash, a check could be heading your way. Read more about that here
