What is Cool Care?

Cool Care is a refrigerator replacement and recycling program for low-income GWP customers. It helps reduce low-income electric bills by replacing old energy inefficient refrigerators with brand new money saving Energy Star® models.

This program may be modified or terminated without prior notice and is provided to qualified customers on a first-come, first-served basis until program funds are no longer available.

According to the U. S. Department of Energy, there are big energy savings still remaining from refrigerators:

• 7 out of 10 refrigerators sold are not ENERGY STAR qualified.
• 44% of displaced or discarded refrigerators stay on the grid.
• 23 million inefficient refrigerators manufactured before 1993 are still in use.
• 26% of all U.S households have a second refrigerator and more are added every year.
