Terms and conditions apply

Sangre de Cristo Water is offering customers (residential and commercial) a $150 or $350 rebate for purchasing a new tier 3 high-efficiency clothes washer.

Clothes washing is the second largest water user in most households with an estimated 7 loads per week. Buying a High-Efficiency Clothes Washer saves soap, wear and tear on clothing, drying time, energy, money, and even better SAVES WATER! Your next clothes washer purchase will have an enormous effect on the amount of water you will use or save over the next 10 years.

In addition to saving water, high-efficiency clothes washers save energy. A tier 3 level washer is estimated to save 393 kWh per year. The CEE clothes washer specification is summarized below. The federal standard and ENERGY STAR level are included as well. For full CEE specification details, see the CEE web site.

What are water factors and tier 3?

Water factor indicates the number of gallons of water needed for each cubic foot of laundry. A lower number indicates lower consumption and a more efficient use of water. Tier 3 clothes washers use less than 15 gallons per load compared to typical top-loading models that use 40 or more gallons per full load and use 25 percent less water than a tier 2 model and 40 percent less than a tier 1 model. For more information on the Water Efficiency Standards, visit www.cee1.org.

Tier 3 water efficient clothes washers:

• save energy
• save wear and tear on clothing; are gentle on your clothes so they last longer
• save drying time; have higher spin speeds so clothes will be drier resulting in less energy required to finish the drying process
• save soap; have a better washing action (they clean clothes with less detergent)
• save water

To qualify you must:

• be a water customer of Sangre de Cristo Water with an account in your name at the service address where the machine is installed and at time of purchase
• install the rebated item at the service address
• not have received a previous clothes washer rebate from Sangre de Cristo Water
• not have purchased clothes washer for a new home or new construction and development
• purchase a new tier 3 high-efficiency clothes washer as determined by the Consortium for Energy Efficiency (CEE) after May 1, 2011
• replace an existing top-loading, high water use clothes washer and allow dealer to pick up old machine for recycling to receive $350 rebate, or

• include the model and serial number of the old machine on the application and have the delivery driver sign the application when it is picked up for recycling to qualify for the $350 rebate

Not all high-efficiency clothes washers qualify for a rebate. Used, leased, rented, or reconditioned clothes washers do not qualify for a rebate.
