Energy-efficient appliances: Upgrade your appliances and get money back from Chelan PUD. We're offering rebates on Energy Star refrigerators, freezers, clothes washers and water heaters, as well as LED retrofit kits and zonal thermostats.
Insulation and windows: Through 2013, we've doubled the rebates for customers who add insulation and/or upgrade windows. Don't wait -- insulate! Studies show homeowners can save up to 20 percent on heating costs by sealing air links and adding insulation. You may be eligible for federal tax credits, too.
Ductless heat pumps: If you have aging baseboard, wall or radiant heat, consider replacing or supplementing your system with a ductless heat pump. We're offering rebates of $750 to eligible customers.
Recycle your refrigerator, for free: Chelan PUD is working with Jaco Environmental to responsibly recycle old refrigerators and freezers at no charge to customers. As a matter of fact, you'll receive a $30 rebate for your efforts.
