Upgrade Your Appliances and Save Money

July 7, 2020 by Opportunities Credit Union

You could save big with energy-efficient appliances every day, and even better, you can now upgrade to new energy-efficient appliances with our new energy-efficient appliance loan program. Read further to see what type of appliances are eligible for as low as 0% interest loans and if you meet the requirements for this program. You can save money, get new appliances, and have a lower carbon footprint. Furthermore, current Burlington Electric tenants and landlords could be eligible for further rebates and incentives.

What appliances qualify?

From dehumidifiers to clothes washers to dishwashers and refrigerators many energy-efficient products are eligible. Be sure to check the Energy Star website (link below) to see qualified brands and appliances.

Energy Star rated products are independently certified to save energy, money and also help protect against climate change by lowering your carbon footprint. In 2018, Energy Star rated appliances had a 430 billion kilowatt-hour reduction and reduced 3.5 billion metric tons in greenhouse gas emissions(1). That’s an incredible amount of energy savings, and it contributes to a greener future. Furthermore, Energy Star rated appliances help American families save on energy costs year over year putting money back in your pocket.

Your old appliances that are not Energy Star rated are costing you money and adding unnecessary emissions into the environment. Make sure to look for the blue Energy Star label.

Who qualifies?

This program offers financing rates as low as 0%! You can find out your interest rate and if you’re qualified in three easy steps.

  1. Fill out the form on the Opportunities Credit Union Energy Efficient Appliance Loan page to get an application.
  2. Make sure you’re new appliances are Energy Star rated.
  3. Set up an Opportunities Credit Union account to pay the loan automatically.

Once you’ve filled out the form a lending officer will contact you about your application and help you through the process. It’s simple and fast.

Is your refrigerator running? You better go and get it!
