Program Impact:
State Rebates Equals Happy Customers, Retailers
Just one of several marketing materials developed by Utah for partner use.
Although the program has come to a close, the affects of Utah's federally supported Energy Efficient Appliance Rebate Program will be felt for a long time to come. Launched on May 12, 2010, rebates between $30 and $300 were available for clothes washers, room air conditioners, gas storage and tankless water heaters, and gas furnaces.
"One success of our program was that it allowed our residents time to consider their purchase and make informed investments," reports Chris Tallackson, incentives coordinator for Cash for Appliances Utah. "We wanted to design a program that was familiar to consumers. This program achieved that goal."
Consumers weren't the only ones to benefit from rebates. The program generated nearly $30 million dollars in economy-stimulating appliance sales for retailers within the State of Utah from just $2.4 million in rebates, including a significantly higher number of rebates for gas tankless water heaters and gas furnaces compared to initial projections.
Utah Cash for Appliances also leveraged existing utility incentive programs, as consumers were able to take advantage of rebates offered by both programs. Utilities across the state spread the word, generating awareness and excitement for the program.
Due, in part, to the success of Cash for Appliances Utah, the state is now considering a statewide educational initiative, which will encourage retailers and contractors to promote the advantages of energy efficiency to their customers.
As of November 15, 2010, all of Utah's rebates have been subscribed.
