FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Aug. 3, 2012 – Southwestern Electric Power Company (SWEPCO) offers mail-in rebates for ENERGY STAR refrigerators, clothes washers and window air conditioning units for all SWEPCO residential customers in Arkansas.

“These rebates are still available even though the statewide rebate program has ended,” said Jason Brewster, Sears Brand Central Assistant Store Manager in Fayetteville, Ark., one of several retailers participating in the SWEPCO program. “The SWEPCO rebates are saving customers, on average, 10 percent on their appliance purchases. We have rebate forms at the store and keep a large selection of qualifying ENERGY STAR appliances on the floor.”
 
The Home Depot, Metro Appliances & More, Sears, and Tucker Furniture and Appliances are partners in SWEPCO’s ENERGY STAR Appliance Rebate Program and offer recycling of old refrigerators to comply with program requirements. Lowe’s and Nino’s Trading Company are also retail partners, requiring a separate proof of refrigerator recycling and haul away.
