Did you know that Energy Efficiency Alberta’s Residential Retail Products Program features online rebates? You could save up to $100 when purchasing an energy efficient refrigerator, clothes washer or smart thermostat. Just buy an appliance from the approved model list (see https://www.efficiencyalberta.ca to make sure you’ve got the right one), take a photo of your receipt, fill out the application form, and wait six to eight weeks for your rebate.
Our government’s $8.5-million investment in the Residential Retail Products Program is expected to save nearly 250,000 gigajoules of energy, enough to meet the needs of 1,675 homes for one year—the equivalent of removing 41,000 personal vehicles from the road for one year. Over the life of these energy-efficient products, the government’s investment in the Residential Retail Products Program is expected to deliver $45.4 million in cost savings to participating households—savings on utility bills to be spent on other priorities. Albertans can save money—and the environment—by making energy efficiency a part of their life. Thousands of Albertans have already done so—and you can too!
