Energy Star Central Air Conditioner Rebate
SAVE MONEY BY SAVING ENERGY

Though these products can be more expensive to purchase up front, the cost difference will be paid back over time through lower energy bills.
How do I get cash back?
You can save money and energy while staying cool with a new central air conditioner. By installing a qualifying ENERGY STAR labeled model, Buffalo Municipal Electric will give you cash back.
