Albany New York Refrigerator Disposal and Buying Guide

What is your old fridge worth? You might be thinking it’s time to replace that old clunker in your kitchen in favor of a newer model with more “bells and whistles.” Nothing wrong with that but as you go shopping for your new ice box you might want to investigate the “Buy Green, Save Green NY High-Efficiency Appliance Rebate Program.” That’s government speak for “you can get cash for your old fridge.” How much green? How does a $350 rebate on a refrigerator and $250 rebate on a washing machine sound? All of a sudden buying a new kitchen appliance is starting to make a lot more sense.

This is all part of a $3.5 million federal program that recently began for New York residents. In order to receive your rebate the new piece of equipment you purchase has to meet standards for energy efficiency. These standards were developed by the Consortium for Energy Efficiency.

“This rebate program gives residents the funding to make their homes more energy efficient, it makes it possible for New Yorkers to spend less on energy costs, and it provides a needed boost to retailers across the state,” Governor Cuomo said in a statement earlier this month.

The other caveat is that when the funds run out the program will end. Within the first couple of days of the announcement of this rebate program $500,000 in rebates was scooped up by smart shoppers. You can still get in on this action but you’ll have to act fast. When you go shopping for a new fridge, you’ll want to start by looking for any model that has an Energy Star rating. This means the manufacturer has taken up the recommendations provided by the EPA as to what energy efficiency means. Basically, the new design of refrigerators lets you run that box for less energy. This means your electric bill should be reduced once you plug in your updated ice box.

In most homes, the refrigerator is the single biggest user of electricity so it only stands to reason you should want to get a better bang for your buck in terms of energy use. Appliance retailers are already seeing a boom in business.

“Business on those items is through the roof,” Ed Isenberg, the manager of Olum’s, an appliance store told WGRZ. “It’s good to stimulate the economy, but it gets the energy-efficient appliances in the homes and that’s why New York State does the program.”

Of course, buying a new refrigerator is only half the job. First, you have to get rid of your old model. This can be accomplished when you hire a team of professional junk haulers like Junk King Capital District.  These same junk haulers can also make use of the refrigerator removal appointment to take away whatever other piles of junk you have. Make a clean sweep of your home and start saving money today!
