Residential Dehumidifier & Air Purifier Rebates
For fresh air, a healthy home, and energy savings, purchase an energy-efficient dehumidifier and air purifier.
Save energy and breathe cleaner air.
Upgrade your home’s air quality and efficiency with ENERGY STAR® certified dehumidifiers and air purifiers. These appliances are designed to deliver powerful performance while using less energy—helping you stay comfortable and reduce your utility bills. ENERGY STAR® air purifiers offer a higher Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) per watt, with advanced features like HEPA filters and optimized fan designs that improve air quality without wasting power. Compared to standard models, they use about 50% less energy.
ENERGY STAR® dehumidifiers remove moisture more efficiently thanks to improved refrigeration coils, compressors, and fans. This means they cost less to operate and can save you up to $175 over the life of the unit. By reducing excess humidity, they also help prevent mold growth and improve indoor air comfort year-round.
The DCSEU offers a $35 rebate on qualifying ENERGY STAR® dehumidifiers and a $50 rebate on qualifying ENERGY STAR air purifiers. It's an easy way to save money upfront while investing in cleaner, healthier air for your home—and a better future for the environment.
