Investing in energy-efficient appliances like clothes washers, dryers, ozone laundry systems and refrigerators can help you and your tenants reduce energy consumption and energy costs.
From high-rise apartment complexes to townhomes and plex properties, cash incentives are available to help make the replacement of energy-wasting appliances more affordable.
Everyone benefits when you upgrade appliances in your multifamily building. Incentives from Energy Trust can help you make the change.
