Rebates for Clothes Washers
High-efficiency residential clothes washers use as little as 18 gallons of water per load, saving more than 50% in water and energy costs. Area cities are working together with PG&E to offer a combined water-energy rebate of $150 on certain high-efficiency models. Washer retailers have the application and eligible washer list.
