AA Feder’s Appliance And Air Conditioner Distributors Television Commercials From 1987

In 1987 the price of a 5,000 BTU window was $239.00. It looked like the 1970s, with all manual controls made from cheap knobs. If this is a unit that you still run today, it would cost you less today to purchase a brand-new one from Feder’s Distributors than it is to run this older model during any hot Summer.

Today’s 5,000 BTU window air conditioner is an attractive white model, with digital displays and a remote. Since it even qualifies for an energy star rebate worth upwards of $50.00, the net cost to our customer is only $49.00!

Cost per year to run this new model is more than 80% better than running the air conditioner in the commercial that we sold for $239.00!

Stay Cool — Cheap!

Staying cool this summer does not have to be expensive and you can “Go green” and help the environment while saving some cash!

Take for example Daewoo’s 5300 BTU window air conditioner, model DWC058RL.  It’s perfect for a room about 125 square feet. It is Energy Star rated, which means the utility company will pay YOU up to $50 for purchasing this unit. Your end cost after rebate is only $99!

Need something bigger, but still want that rebate? Fedders has 12000 BTU, Energy star rated air conditioners available in 110v or 220v models. Price after utility company rebate is only $252! These are versatile units that can be installed in a window or wall with a remote control, slide-out chassis and of course that all important, money saving Energy Star rating. (models AZ7Y12F2A and AZ7Y12F7A)

And of course Feder’s Distributors has plenty of stock! Every year we anticipate the summer heat wave and stock our warehouse full to the rafters to help keep our clients cool. Get your air conditioner installed this season before the heat wave hits- unless you enjoy installing in 110 degree Southern California heat!

Remember, the Energy Star rebates offered by utility companies come from a limited fund. Once the fund is depleted, it is gone for good. Don’t  miss your opportunity to have the utility companies pay you cash for once.

With Or Without Cash For Appliances, It’s STILL A Great Time To Buy Appliances!

If you’ve been in the market recently for any major product, you’ve realized prices haven’t dropped significantly in the past few years.  I mean, there really aren’t too many great deals on cars or kitchen appliances.  Right?

Well, not really.  As I’m sure you know by now, there’s a cash incentive when you dispose of your environmentally unfriendly refrigerator that you’ve owned for 20 years.  In fact, there’s a cash incentive when you dispose of your clothes washer and your room air conditioner as well.  Up to $350.00 in incentives in fact.

But the problem is, you have to purchase a new one on their short list of acceptable models.  Most are extremely expensive.

For example, if you’re in the market for a new refrigerator, take this Whirlpool model.  As you can see, it’s #1 Rated Side-by-Side Refrigerator by a leading consumer magazine.  25.6 Cubic Feet, stainless steel and beautiful!  It’s sale price is $1,799.00!  So, if you do the math, you’d receive $200.00 back from the State of California for the Cash For Appliances Program and another $50.00 to $65.00 from your local utility company.

You’ll be saving the Earth and saving up to 75% of what your existing 20 year old refrigerator is guzzling.

I think the program is great.  But not really for the rebates.  I think it’s really a great program due to the buzz it’s been creating.  I love it!  And, we’ve been reaping the fruits of it.  Although, I’m happy to sell a fridge for $1,799.00, and getting you your extra $265.00 back in rebates, I’d much prefer to sell you this refrigerator! Or this refrigerator!

Why spend $1,534.00, for a 25 cubic foot refrigerator, when you can get a very similar refrigerator for only $850 and some change? You may not get $200 back from the government or up to $65 back from your utility company, but you’d get about $950.00 in savings!  And this refrigerator and this refrigerator is also an energy star model, so you’d still be saving the environment and yourself up to about 75% of the energy your existing refrigerator is currently guzzling!

I think it’s a no-brainer!

So if you’re in the market for a new refrigerator, clothes washer, room air conditioner, or really any other kitchen or home appliance,  come on by, or visit us here.  Now is the perfect time to buy even if not for the great cash incentives of the Cash For Appliance Program!

California Will Give You $50.00 For This!

Have an old washing machine like this one sitting around waiting to be picked up?  Planning on purchasing a new one for your home?

The Cash for Appliances program begins on April 22, 2010 (Earth Day) in California and would be a great time for you to get it done!

As a Platinum Partner with the program, Feder’s Distributors will be happy to pick up your old washing machine when we deliver your new one, haul it away and recycle it for you at no extra charge!  We’ll give you a receipt for proof of recycling, along with all the forms that need to be filled out so you can receive a $50 check from the state.

As you probably already know, California received $35.2 million to educate and give incentives to California consumers when they purchase brand-new energy star qualified washers, refrigerators, and room air conditioners.

If you plan to purchase any of these products, now would be the time to get a move on!

In addition to receiving $50.00 for your old washing machine, you can also earn $200.00 for your old refrigerator, and $50.00 for your old room air conditioner.  But not only that, you can still qualify for any additional manufacturer rebates as well as any additional utility company rebates!  Virtually making your new energy star qualified appliance close to free!

For example, when you turn in your old washing machine (like the one that’s more than 30 years old in the pictures above), and purchase a new one, you’ll receive a $50.00 check!

If you plan on purchasing a new energy star qualified refrigerator from Whirlpool, for example, you’ll not only receive $200.00 from the state just for turning your old refrigerator in, an additional $65.00 from your utility company (like DWP) and an additional $35.00 from DWP just for recycling your old refrigerator is also available.  Also, if Whirlpool has additional rebates for purchasing said energy star model, you’ll be eligible to receive that as well!

If you turn in your old room air conditioner, not only will you receive the $50 from California for the Cash for Appliances program, but you could also receive an additional $50 from your local utility company!

The best part? You’ll be helping keep your environment cleaner an use a much small percentage of energy than your old washer, refrigerator, or air conditioner!

We hope to see you on April 22, because the funds may run out soon (as they did in two days for many of the states who implemented the program months ago!).

Please contact us if you have any questions about this or any other program!

Don’t Buy A New Washing Machine, Refrigerator, Or Air Conditioner!

Don’t buy a new washing machine, refrigerator, or air conditioner in California until April 22nd (Earth Day)!

If your washing machine, refrigerator, or air conditioner has bit the dust, or is about to, you should wait to purchase a new one on April 22, 2010 through May 23, 2010.

As we’ve discussed here, here, and here, and tweeted about here, here, here, here, here, here, and here, The US government has set aside $300,000,000 for a rebate program similar to the Cash For Clunkers program last year called Cash For Appliances.

Details for the program in California have been sketchy until yesterday.  On its official website Cash4Appliances.org, it was announced that rebates will be available for Californians who purchase  a washer, refrigerator, or air conditioner between April 22, 2010 (Earth Day) through May 23, 2010, and recycle their old one through a certified recycler.  The rebate applicant must be a California residential consumer and must purchase an eligible appliance that meets the state’s efficiency requirements. The purchased appliance must replace an existing, working appliance.

Rebates are first-come, first-serve and will be processed as received until funds are depleted. Rebate applications must be postmarked by June 25, 2010.

Consumers who take advantage of this program can receive $200 back for a qualified refrigerator, $100 back for a qualified clothes washer, and $50 back for a qualified room air conditioner!

Customers will receive their rebates within four to six weeks if the rebate claim is complete. A complete claim contains the filled out and signed rebate claim form with appliance serial number, certificate of recycled appliance, a copy of utility bill (to verify California residential address), and a copy of the sales receipt.

Additionally, the California Cash For Appliances rebates can be combined with other manufacturer, retailer, or utility company rebates!  Like these.

Feder’s Outlet has several qualifying models in stock for pennies on the dollar like this and this, and Feder’s Distributors has most of the qualifying room air conditioners in-stock all the time for already the best prices in the country!

Get Exclusive Notifications On Brand-New Kitchen Appliances And Air Conditioners For Pennies On The Dollar

As many of you may be aware, our new Outlet store was officially opened a couple of weeks back on February 1st to a wonderful reception. Since the opening of the Feder’s Outlet, close to 100 scratch and dent and slightly-used pieces have already been sold for huge discounts.  Many for pennies on the dollar!

Although Feder’s Distributors will always provide the best pricing and service to the multifamily building owner, manager, and contractor, we are committed to selling great products for pennies on the dollar in our Feder’s Outlet store.

Understandably, during these tough economic times our customers are always looking for ways to save even more on their kitchen appliances and air conditioners.  We wanted to let you to know that we’re here to help!

Our best products at the best prices have yet to arrive!

Often times, manufacturers have pieces that are found on the production line with slight blemishes or a broken part.  Some may not be in perfect condition so they are brought back to the factory and made perfect,  or close to perfect, and given a fully-backed manufacturer’s warranty.

Later this week, Feder’s Outlet will receive the first truckload of brand-new items that have been refurbished to premium quality by the manufacturer.  Again, All items are “A” product kitchen appliances and air conditioners and come with the full manufacturer’s warranty.

We expect to receive several trucks of these types of items per month and they’ll always contain a mixed bag of goodies.  Often times, an entire truck of product could contain only one piece you may be looking for, so when it’s gone, it’s gone.

That’s why it is imperative for you to sign up below to receive an electronic list of appliances and air conditioners on each truck before it arrives!  Before anyone else has an opportunity to snatch it from under you.

Sign up here and choose the Feder’s Outlet list to receive information on incoming products before anyone else:
