Cool Rebates from Tacoma Power

Rebates for SuperSaver Commercial Solid-Door Refrigerators and Freezers

Welcome to our rebate program for super-efficient refrigerators and freezers - Cool Rebates from Tacoma Power.  To encourage the purchase of the most energy-efficient commercial solid-door refrigerators and freezers we are providing rebates for qualified SuperSaver commercial solid-door refrigerators and freezers.

Program expanding.  We're glad to announce we're expanding the program.  As of August 2004, we're partnering with Seattle City Light, Puget Sound Energy, and Snohomish PUD, and are now offering offer this rebate program throughout our service territories -  much of Western Washington. 

To qualify for rebates, units must be SuperSaver qualified and be installed in the four-utility service territory.

To view a brochure and program application form, click here (pdf format).  Important program update:  Because ENERGY STAR refrigerators and freezers are required by the Washington State code as of 2007, they are no longer eligible for rebates. 

Qualifying equipment

Specifications for energy-efficient refrigerators and freezers have been established through EPA's ENERGY STAR program.  Specifications for the highest efficiency refrigerators and freezers - Tier 2 - have been established by the Consortium for Energy Efficiency - CEE.  We're marketing these CEE Tier 2 units as SuperSaver machines.
