Replace your old fridge for free program!

I thought something that might be good in the newsletter is PSE's appliance replacement program.  Our new refrigerator is to be delivered April 7th. They've already been out to approve the replacement and confirm ours was 20 years old or older. Here are the basics, from the website link at:  http://pse.com/savingsandenergycenter/ForHomes/Pages/Free-Appliance-Replacement.aspxFor your old refrigerator to qualify for free replacement, it should be:
  • 10-30 cubic feet
  • Manufactured in 1992 or before
  • In working/ cooling condition
  • The primary food storage in the kitchen
  • Plugged into a properly grounded (3-prong) outlet to ensure safety
  • Owned by the resident or resident has received written landlord permission
For your old clothes washer to qualify for free replacement, it should be:
  • Connected to an electric water heater and used with an electric dryer (not gas or other fuel type)
  • Manufactured in 1997 or before
  • In working condition
  • Plugged into a properly grounded (3-prong) outlet to ensure safety
  • Connected to a properly functioning water hose
  • Owned by the resident or resident has received written landlord permission
To tell how old your appliance is:
  • Check inside the door or on the back for a label with the year it was manufactured
  • If your appliance labels don't have a date, note the brand, model number and serial number
  • Try sites like Appliance411.com to search by model number
Our 19 cu. ft. is being replaced by a 21 cu. ft. refrigerator. We're excited to get a new fridge since ours is not only old but also noisy. Electric to run the new one should be around $30/year; our old one is probably about $80/year.

Cheers,Ranger
