Appliance Rewards

For Alliant Energy residential customers in Minnesota

When buying an appliance, remember that it has two price tags: what you pay to take it home and what you pay for the energy and water it uses.

ENERGY STAR® qualified appliances incorporate advanced technologies that use 10–50 percent less energy and water than standard models. The money you save on your utility bills can more than make up for the cost of a more expensive but more efficient ENERGY STAR model. Plus, IPL will give you cash back on your qualifying ENERGY STAR appliance purchase.

Refrigerators

In most households, the refrigerator is the single biggest energy consuming kitchen appliance. ENERGY STAR qualified refrigerators use high-efficiency compressors, improved insulation and more precise temperature and defrost mechanisms to improve energy efficiency. If your refrigerator was manufactured before 1993, you could be wasting $100 or more in electricity every year.

Room air conditioners

ENERGY STAR qualified room air conditioners use at least 10 percent less energy than conventional models. These models often include timers for better temperature control, allowing you to use the minimum amount of energy needed to cool your room. Make sure your unit is properly sized to your dwelling – most people install units that are too large, and thus inefficient.
