The City offers rebates on the purchase of high efficiency clothes washers.
The $150 rebate is made up of two parts: a $100 water rebate and a $50 energy rebate. (Rebate amounts valid for purchases on or after 7/4/08,
earlier purchases rebated at $50 for water, $50 for energy)
To apply, purchase and install a qualifying washing machine to be eligible.
See page 2 of the application PDF for
a list of qualifying machines. Submit your application
and a copy of your receipt within 30 days of purchase or installation. If your installation is delayed, please
include a dated delivery receipt with your application and purchase receipt.
You can typically expect to receive your check about 6 to 8 weeks after submittal.
To be eligible for the water rebate, you must receive water from Austin Water Utility
or an eligible MUD.
Eligibility for the energy rebate depends on the type of water heat you have.
If you have an electric water heater, you must have Austin Energy service.
If you have a gas water heater, you must have Texas Gas Service and be within
the city limits of Austin (rate code: Austin I/S Res).
Propane water heaters are not eligible for the energy rebate.
Our rebate program is based on washers being in service for a minimum of five years; if you replace your
washer within five years, we cannot grant another rebate.
Please see specific guidelines and qualifying models
for commercial and multi-family
properties.
