Feder's Air Conditioner And Appliance Distributors

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!

A little more information is beginning to surface about the “Clunker” Appliance Program.

Once implemented in November, consumers would be eligible for up to $250 rebates on energy star refrigerators, front-load washers, and other kitchen appliances and air conditioners.

The state of California should be getting about $35 million towards the program and should see utility companies, manufacturers and retailers (Feder’s Distributors would be included!) working together to help bring more energy-efficient appliances to our communities.

Many details are still unclear and one of the major pieces of this plan still needs to be ironed out: what will happen with the old appliances and would a recycling requirement be the kicker?

Typically, disposal of older appliances is much easier and cost-efficient. However, placing appliances in landfills can be extremely damaging to our environment and would have a negative effect on such a program.

Although difficult and costly, recycling old appliances should be the way to go. But the plan is still incomplete and does not yet specify who would be responsible for this.

As more information is released, we will continue to keep you updated here.
