Energy Star Rebates

ENERGY STAR compliant office equipment such as computers, monitors and imaging equipment like printers and copiers help to eliminate waste though special energy efficient designs. They use less electricity and when they are not in use enter into a low-power mode. The specifications for many office products continue to change making it more difficult to earn the ENERGY STAR label. The products now use as much as 60% less electricity than standard equipment. If every home office product purchased in the United States this year met ENERGY STAR requirements, we would save more than $100 million in annual energy cost, prevent 1.4 billion pounds of greenhouse gases, equivalent to taking 125,000 cars off the road, and save more than 900 million kWh of electricity. The products that fall under office equipment are: computers, copiers, fax machines, digital duplicators, external power adapters, notebook computers/tablet PC’s, mailing machines, computer monitors, digital picture frames, printers, scanners, all in one units, water coolers, and computer servers.

If you purchase an item listed under the Home Office description you will receive a credit of 15% of the cost, not to exceed $50.

ENERGY STAR compliant home electronics use as much as 60% less energy. Even when these electronics are off they use power for features like clock displays and remote controls. The average home has roughly two TVs, three telephones and a DVD player. Approximately 10% of a households power use is devoted to TV-related activities. There are about 275 million TV’s currently in use in the U.S., consuming over 50 billion kWh of energy each year. An average size ENERGY STAR qualified TV uses 40% less energy than a standard model, an ENERGY STAR qualified 60-inch television will be, on average, 60 % more efficient than a standard model. ENERGY STAR qualified TV’s are viewed with an on mode power consumption level that allows a consumer to realize a savings by curbing the energy associated with downloading program guide data. Set-top boxes are getting more energy intensive. In fact, a home using two set-top boxes is using significantly more electricity than it takes to run a new refrigerator – roughly 500 kWh, every year. ENERGY STAR qualified set-top boxes are at least 40 % more efficient than conventional models.

The products that fall under home electronics are audio/ video, battery charging systems, digital-to-analog converter boxes, cordless phones, and combination units, external power adapters, televisions and set-top boxes imaging equipment.

If you purchase an item listed under the Home Electronics description you will receive a credit of 15% of the cost, not to exceed $50.
