Energy Efficient Appliance Rebates

Energy efficient refrigerators, toilets and washing machines are eligible for rebates through efficiencyPEI. The rebate is applied in-store at participating retailers, there is no need to submit an application. Unlike the other Instant Savings campaigns, the appliance rebates are available year round. 

How much can you save? 

• With improved insulation and compressors, energy efficient refrigerators will help you consume less energy and can reduce your electricity bills by approximately $300 over 5 years.
• Toilets account for nearly 30% of residential water consumption. WaterSense® certified toilets use less water while efficiently removing waste. Replacing a 13-litre or greater volume flush toilet with a high efficiency toilet can save about 40,000 litres of water per year.
• An energy efficient washing machine will help you save up to $35 per year on your electricity bill and use up to 30% less water.
