Michigan residents are eligible for energy efficient rebates for certain appliances. The following details show what is eligible and how to claim the appliance rebates.
How the Energy Star Rebate Program Works in Michigan
The Michigan Energy Efficient Appliance Rebate Program (MEEARP) is an appliance trade up program that is available to all consumers who purchase a qualifying energy efficient appliance with the Energy Star label. The Energy Star label indicates the government’s stamp of approval for a particular appliance being energy efficient.
Rebates range from $25 to $100 per appliance. While this may not sound like a lot, many appliance stores are offering additional incentives for simply purchasing an eligible energy efficient appliance from their store. In addition, many utility companies are also offering incentives. Visit www.dsireusa.org for more information on this incentive program.

The following appliances may qualify in the state of Michigan for an energy efficient rebate:
- Hot water heaters
- Oil furnaces

Michigan encourages residents who take advantage of the appliance rebate program to recycle all old appliances. In many cases, appliance stores that deliver the new energy efficient appliance will remove the old appliance free of charge.
