If your current fridge is expensive to operate and/or unsatisfactory in other ways, take advantage of Labor Day appliance sales. Then, schedule FREE pick-up and recycling of your old box plus a $50 rebate. This offer is only for Xcel Energy residential electric customers (valid account number required). To qualify, you also must own an operational 10- to 30-cubic-foot refrigerator/freezer that will be picked up from the residential address listed on the billing account. “‘Operational” is defined as being capable of cooling/freezing, and to prove that it is, you must plug it the night before the pickup date. The unit must demonstrate full operational capability when inspected at the time of pickup. Call 866-552-8755 or schedule online. Expect your $50 rebate within four weeks. As a bonus, Xcel will throw in two free efficient LED light bulbs as well. The Xcel offer ends on October 31.
