Since 2015 Seattle City Light has been providing rebates to departments purchasing ultra-low freezers that meet specific energy efficiency criteria. The list of approved brands and models has recently been expanded and if you are considering replacing an existing or purchasing a new ultra-low freezer, please consider purchasing one of these energy efficient models listed below.
Rebates range from $700 to $1,050 per unit and save between $320 and $420 per unit annually in electricity costs. Contact VWR, Fisher Scientific, Neta Scientific, Eppendorf or Cedar Mountain Supply to discuss your purchase. Note: Not all brands are available from all suppliers.
