MGED follows the latest state guidelines, offering rebates on specific technologies for the highest level of energy savings per budget dollar. Even though some Energy-Star qualified appliances are not included, we still encourage buying these more-efficient appliances whenever you are shopping for a new refrigerator, washer, or room air conditioner. Their lower energy use will save you many dollars during their useful life.
Rebates may be credited to your MGED bill. Remember to include the Energy Guide label (PDF) that comes with your new appliances with the Energy Star logo clearly visible. All appliances have an Energy Guide label but not all appliances are Energy Star qualified! Check before you buy or apply.
All purchases from January 1st to the end of this year will be eligible but funding is limited and may run out before the end of the year. Please call 888-772-4242 with questions about your purchase.
Please note that new appliance rebates (air conditioner, air purifier) and Low Income rebates are available beginning on August 1st, 2023. The online rebate portal is not available yet and we will honor purchases made after this date. Keep receipts for your purchases until your rebate is processed.
