Instant Rebates on Energy Efficiency Products

Rebates for energy efficiency products will be available in-store at retailers across the province.

Instant rebates are offered on certified energy efficient appliances and other select products purchased at participating retailers across PEI. When an Island consumer purchases a new unit that meets the eligibility criteria for efficiency, the cost will be automatically reduced at the cash register.

Instant rebates are applied to efficiencyPEI-approved energy efficient products as follows: 

  • Smart Thermostats: $100
  • Full-size Refrigerators: $75
  • Washing Machines: $75
  • Toilets: $75
  • Dehumidifiers: $30

Each spring and fall, a seasonal campaign offers additional rebates for select products for energy efficient lighting, water and power control, and laundry drying. Products selected for in-store rebate may vary for each seasonal campaign. 

The fall instant savings campaign will be back in September. Check your local participating retailer for special rebates on energy efficient lighting, water and power control, and more.
