Energy efficiency program provides new rebates for small appliances
The Dayton Power and Light Company (DP&L), a subsidiary of The AES
Corporation (NYSE: AES), is offering rebates to customers for recycling
inefficient appliances. Replacing older appliances saves on energy costs
and helps protect the environment.
DP&L will rebate customers $50 for each working refrigerator or freezer
and $20 on room air conditioners and dehumidifiers. The room air
conditioners and dehumidifiers will be collected only during pick-ups of
refrigerators and freezers at the same location. Refrigerators and
freezers must be 10-30 cubic feet. Residential and business customers
may recycle appliances. All units collected must be standard-sized – not
commercial – appliances.
Household appliances account for nearly 13% of the average electrical
bill, installing new higher efficiency appliances provides an
opportunity for real savings on energy costs.
“DP&L recognizes how much our customers value the convenience of our
appliance recycling program and the benefit it provides to the
environment,” said DP&L President and CEO Tom Raga. “We are pleased to
offer the program and to expand it to include smaller appliances.”
The rebate for recycling appliances is part of DP&L’s ongoing energy
efficiency efforts for customers, which also include rebates on new
heat pumps and air conditioners, discounts on energy-efficient lighting,
and rebates for business customers.
Customers may make an appointment to have old appliances picked up – at
no charge – call 877-889-4765 or visit www.dpandl.com/recycle.
DP&L is partnering with a new vendor ARCA Inc., an international company
with 40 years of innovation and experience in energy efficiency and
responsible appliance disposal, providing customers with an easy and
responsible method to recycle old, inefficient refrigerators and
freezers, as well as select small appliances. ARCA’s recycling centers
salvage materials in refrigerators and freezers with the goal of
protecting natural resources from the environmentally-damaging
substances found in older appliances.
