Pacific Power's Great Refrigerator Roundup defrosts energy savings for Yakima area customers
Recycling old fridges saves enough electricity to run an average home for 46 months
YAKIMA, Wash.--Yakima residents shut the door on energy waste in 2013 by joining with Pacific Power and getting serious about refrigerator recycling. With Pacific Power's "See ya later Refrigerator" program, Yakima area customers gave the cold shoulder to 117 fridges and freezers during September and October.
"This is a fine, sustained effort and overall it is reducing energy use in the valley," said Bill Clemens, regional community manager. "Putting 117 old fridges out to pasture saves almost 50,000 kilowatt hours of electricity use. That's immediate and long term savings for these customers and it's enough to run the average home for nearly four years."
Saving energy not only cuts customer's bills now, but reduces the need for costly new generating plants and transmission lines later. Participants also got $30 cash back for disconnecting the old, inefficient appliances. Now, depending on how inefficient the old fridge was, a customer might save as much as $150 per year in reduced energy costs.
"It is not too late even now to get rid of those old energy hogs," said Dean Brewer, Washington program field services representative for the program. "Simply pick up the phone, schedule a free pickup, and count the savings."
Any and all Pacific Power residential customers are eligible for "See ya later, refrigerator(R)." Refrigerators or freezers must be in working condition and a minimum of 10 cubic feet in size (based on inside measurements) to qualify.
Call toll free 1-866-899-5539 to schedule a free pickup. For details on how you can earn cash back on a new energy-efficient fridge, or to get other energy-saving tips, visit bewattsmart.com.
