Texas Trade Up Appliance Rebate Program
The Official State of Texas Appliance Rebate Program Web site
The state of Texas received more than $23 million in federal stimulus funds from the U.S. Department of Energy to establish and administer an Energy Efficient Appliance Rebate Program - the first of its kind in Texas. The Texas Trade Up Appliance Rebate Program encourages consumers to replace old (but functional) appliances with new, energy efficient, ENERGY STAR® or CEE qualified models to stimulate the Texas economy and increasing energy conservation efforts in Texas.
How do I apply for a rebate?
The program officially begins on April 7, 2010* at 7 a.m. CT, when rebate reservations will be accepted online through this Web site or via toll-free call to 1-877-780-3039. [*NOTE: New date updated 4/1/10]
The purchase period for all appliances begins April 16, 2010. Appliances must be purchased from a Texas retail location or contractor. Online purchases are not eligible.
- For refrigerators, freezers, clothes washers, dishwashers and room air conditioners, the purchase period ends April 25, 2010.
- For central air conditioners, hot water heaters and air-source heat pumps, the purchase period ends 60 days from the rebate reservation or waitlist request date.

Who qualifies?
Texas residents with a valid Texas residential address qualify for a rebate if they follow all program rules. You can qualify for one rebate per appliance category (for instance, you may not qualify for two refrigerator rebates), two appliance rebates per household and two recycling bonus rebates per household from the eligible appliance list.
Act fast!
Texas anticipates high interest in this program and rebate reservations will go quickly. Though placement on the waitlist is not a guarantee of a rebate reservation, rebate applications from waitlist participants will be processed in the order they are received pending available funds.
