Washing Machine Rebates

The $100 million Residential Rebate Program is part of the NSW Government’s Climate Change Fund, established to help people make their homes more water and energy efficient. It provides rebates for rainwater tanks, climate-friendly hot water systems, ceiling insulation and water-efficient washing machines.

The NSW Washing Machine Rebate will be available from August 1, 2008. It will provide $150 cashback on any 4.5 star rated washing machine purchased for a residential property in NSW. A 4.5 star water efficient washing machine can save up to 100 litres per wash compared to an old top-loader. A family washing more than six loads a week would save up to 31,000 litres of water a year.
