Are You Eligible for Free Appliances? 

The Energy Savings Assistance program is designed to help you conserve energy and save money. Income-qualified customers may be eligible to receive energy-efficient appliances at no charge or a minimal charge. 

  • In some instances, a copayment may be required. 
  • If you qualify, we’ll cover the costs—including installation—of new energy-efficient appliances. 

At this time, participation in the Energy Savings Assistance program is currently waitlisted due to limited funding. Interested customers may call 1-800-736-4777 to provide their information should funding become available. Customers may be contacted for enrollment and assessment scheduling.
