Information from Puget Sound Energy

BELLEVUE, Wash. – We’re having a bit of a tough time getting our customers to take advantage of a very good deal, because – frankly – it does sound too good to be true.

Puget Sound Energy is rounding up old, inefficient refrigerators

and replacing them with a limited number of ENERGY STAR® qualified models by Frigidaire -- for free.  And PSE will even remove and recycle the old fridge                                                                           

can save customers more than $200 a year in energy costs.                             

For an old refrigerator to qualify for free replacement, it should be:

• Manufactured on or before 1992 and currently in working condition
• 10 to 30 cubic feet in size
• The primary food storage in the kitchen
• Plugged into a properly grounded (3-prong) outlet

Customers can figure out the age of their fridge by checking inside the door or on the back for a label with the year it was manufactured.  Websites such as Appliance411.com can also help determine the year. 

Those who are interested can learn if they qualify by calling 1-877-341-2314, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to

5 p.m.   More information can be found at PSE.com/MyFreeFridge.

Why does PSE offer free appliances and rebates?

• Efficiency and conservation help maintain affordable, reliable energy for everyone.
• It’s cheaper to save energy than build expensive new power plants, substations, pipelines and other infrastructure that’s used to deliver electricity and natural gas to homes.
• It’s less costly than buying energy on the open market, or moving it here from around the country.
