High Efficiency Clothes Washer Program
SERI is partnering with Tucson Water to empower low-income families to upgrade their washers. This initiative embodies our commitment to ensuring that all community members can purchase efficient appliances that reduces both water and energy usage.
On average, Energy Star certified high-efficiency washers consume about 30% less water and 20% less energy than conventional models. By making these upgrades affordable, we aim to alleviate the financial burden on low-income households while promoting water conservation and reducing environmental impact.
Qualifying participants can purchase a new high-efficiency washer for just $200, despite its full value of up to $800 plus installation. To facilitate this, participants will receive a zero-interest loan from SERI, structured to be manageable: a $50 down payment when qualified, followed by a 6-month payment plan of just $25 per month.
Financial assistance:
- Homeowners only pay $200 for the clothes washer.
- All loans are 0-interest.
- A payment plan of up to 6-months is available.
