Auburn, Maine – In partnership with Efficiency Maine, Agren Appliance & Television is announcing its “Cash for Clunkers” appliance rebate program. By offering mail-in rebates, the Efficiency Maine Residential Appliance Program encourages customers to replace their outdated appliances with new energy efficient models. Rebates range from $25 to $75 on select Energy Star® rated, qualified clothes washers, refrigerators, freezers, dehumidifiers and air conditioners.

Agren’s own Cash for Clunkers program offers additional instant and mail-in rebates on qualified Energy Star rated appliances that can be used in conjunction with the Efficiency Maine rebates. Agren’s Cash for Clunkers program also includes free removal and responsible recovery services for old appliances. It is not necessary to turn in an older appliance to be eligible for the Efficiency Maine program or other Agren rebates.

“Our free appliance eco disposal is an initiative that distinguishes us from other retailers in the state who are charging for these services,” stated Jason Agren, Vice President of Agren Appliance & Television. “As a family-owned Maine business for more than forty years, we are doing our part to see that our customers’ discarded appliances are disposed of in an environmentally responsible manner.”

Agren’s Cash for Clunkers rebates and free removal and eco disposal program are available at Agren Appliance & Television’s six retail stores in Auburn, Augusta, Brunswick, South Paris, South Portland and Waldoboro. For more information call (800) 335-0235 or visit www.agrenappliance.com

The Efficiency Maine Residential Appliance Program is scheduled to run through June 30, 2010. More information is available at www.efficiencymaine.com.
