High Efficiency Clothes Washer Rebate

A high-efficiency clothes washer uses 15 to 25 gallons of water per load, compared to 40 to 45 gallons used by older, non-efficient washers. A high-efficiency washing machine reduces energy use by up to 70% and water use by up to 50%. This means lower water and energy bills.  Rebates are now being offered to Miami-Dade County single family homeowners when they purchase and install a High-Efficiency clothes washer.

Residential Rebate

1. Receive a $150 rebate for purchasing a new High-Efficiency Clothes Washer (HEW) that replaces an old water-wasting clothes washer. Rebates are available on a first-come first served basis and will be available until April 30, 2009.
2. Machines must be installed in a single-family residence within Miami-Dade County. Participants must be willing to allow an inspection of the installed machine for verification of program compliance.
3. Choose from the current list of approved models * (2 MB)   for your purchase. The Energy Star label must indicate a Modified Energy label of 2.2 or higher (the higher the number, the greater the energy savings) and a water factor of 4.5 or less.
4. Fill out an application (English  Spanish  Creole ) and mail it, along with your original receipt, within 60 days of purchase. Rebate applications must be postmarked before April 30, 2009, and mailed to:
