Energize Missouri Appliance Rebate Program Background

The Energize Missouri Appliance Rebate Program was designed to help Missourians buy appliances at lower costs, reduce home utility expenses and benefit Missouri businesses by stimulating sales of energy efficient appliances. The Missouri Department of Natural Resources recieved more than $5.6 million in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 funding from the U.S. Department of Energy to help citizens purchase ENERGY STAR® appliances.  More than 35,000 Missourians have received rebates for ENERGY STAR® appliances through this program.

Missouri residents should also check with their utility providers for other rebates that may be available for energy efficient equipment and appliances. For general information on ENERGY STAR® rebate programs, and other programs being implemented in other states, visit one of the following links:
