At PHAD – Pacific Home and Appliance Distribution, we’re proud to support Hawaii Energy’s Earth Month initiative to help Oahu residents reduce their energy bills and environmental impact by upgrading old appliances with energy-efficient models. Whether you're looking to replace an outdated refrigerator, get rid of that second fridge in the garage, or take advantage of up to $5,000 in home energy rebates, there’s never been a better time to make the switch.

Why It Matters in Hawaii

Many Hawaii homes still rely on 10- to 15-year-old washers, dryers, and refrigerators—some of which use twice as much energy as today’s ENERGY STAR® models. And in a place where high utility costs are common, that adds up fast. Swapping these old appliances for efficient ones not only reduces waste and fossil fuel dependency—it also lowers your electricity bill significantly.

Cash Rebates for Replacing Old Appliances

  • Fridge Trade-Up Program: Receive a $250 rebate when you recycle a working refrigerator that’s 14 cubic feet or larger and replace it with a qualified ENERGY STAR® model.
  • Garage Fridge Recycling: Got a second fridge or freezer you no longer need? PHAD and Hawaii Energy will haul it away for free and give you a $75 rebate per unit.
  • Bonus Rebates: Additional incentives are available for heat pump water heaters, air conditioners, and solar water heating systems.

Flip Your Fridge Contest – Win a $1,000 ENERGY STAR® Refrigerator

Oahu residents can enter to win a new refrigerator (up to $1,000 value) in the “Flip Your Fridge” contest. Visit our PHAD showroom on Oahu to choose your model and experience our premium selection in person. We’re proud to partner with Hawaii Energy to bring this opportunity to our community—and especially to hard-to-reach areas across the islands.

Who Qualifies?

Rebates and contests are open to Hawaii residents on Oahu, Maui, Moloka‘i, and Hawai‘i Island who are utility-paying customers and 18 years or older. Entry details will be shared first through Hawaii Energy’s e-newsletter and on their social media channels.
