What appliances qualify for the Texas Powerful Smart program?
The Texas Powerful Smart program offers different rebates for different appliances. Rebates range from $ 120 to over $ 1,500, depending on the appliance you trade in through the Texas Appliance rebate program. See a full list of the qualifying appliances at the Texas Powerful Smart web site. Each appliance also has a list of “qualifying models” that will get the rebate. Not every brand-new appliance is energy-efficient, so do your research.
How do I get the Texas Powerful Smart rebate?
If you are a Texas resident and you have a Texas residential address, you could qualify for a Texas Appliance Rebate. Go to the Texas Powerful Smart site to reserve your rebate – or call 1-877-780-3039. The web site and phone lines are very busy this morning, and the Texas Powerful Smart web site recommends you try several times to get through. You will be required to buy your appliance in person, not online. You will also have to submit information to the Texas Powerful Smart program.
Texas Powerful Smart rebates based on Energy Star
When an appliance is energy-efficient, it can apply for Energy Star labels. However, the Energy Star label has lately run into questions. After a Government Accountability Office report found that getting the Energy Star label was surprisingly easy, some questioned the legitimacy of the label. In order to get the Texas Appliance Rebate, the new appliance you purchase has to be either Energy Star or CEE rated. You should do your own research to be sure the new appliance will save you money.
