Summary: Freezer and Refrigerator Replacement Age
Contact: Please reach out to your Account Manager
For EmPower+ projects, current program language allows for refrigerators and freezers older than 10 years to be replaced with more efficient models.  To align with the New York State Technical Resource Manual,  NYSERDA is modifying the replacement age requirement for refrigerators and freezers from “older than 10 years” to “older than 2011”.  NYSERDA will allow a grace period until September 4, 2023, for this change to be implemented.  After this date, refrigerator and freezers must be older than 2011 to be eligible for replacement through the Program.  NYSERDA is modifying Section 5.15, EmPower+ Eligible Measures and Accessories and Section 5.18 Measure and Installation Criteria of the Program Manual to reflect these changes.
