Avista offers rebates for the purchase and installation of qualifying high efficiency commercial clothes washers.  These washers can save up to 50 percent of energy costs and use about 30 percent less water over standard models.  They also extract more moisture from clothes during the spin cycle which reduces drying time (and wear and tear on the clothing).

Rebate amounts for qualifying commercial clothes washers::

$250 for Energy Star - a list of qualifying equipment can be found at www.energystar.gov.

$250 for Consortium for Energy Efficiency (CEE) Tier 1 - a list of qualifying equipment can be found at www.cee1.org.

$350 for CEE Tier 2 - a list of qualifying equipment can be found at www.cee1.org.

$400 for CEE Tier 3 - a list of qualifying equipment can be found at www.cee1.org.
