3 Ways to Get a Good Deal on Appliances

https://www.publiclossadjusters.com/6882-2/

Smart shoppers know to look for big discounts on large appliances on holiday weekends. But if that timing doesn't work for you, there are other ways to for you to find deals:

1. Manufacturer offers and rebates. Check the websites of manufacturers and retailers for special offers and rebates, then check our ratings on those appliances. The offers typically apply yo specific models purchased within certain time frames, and if there's a rebate, you'll need to mail it in or submit it online by the deadline that's spelled out. Recently, GE offered up to $1,000 in savings on paired appliances. One offer even included a free dishwasher if you bought three other qualifying appliances.
2. Price matches. Compare price-match policies of your favorite retailers. Although only about 3 in 10 Americans say they have requested a discount to match the price of another store (based on a 2017 CR survey of 1,033 respondents), this a great way to get a better deal. Best Buy, for example, matches the prices of local competition and major online retailers, such as Amazon. Home Depot matches the competitor's price for online purchases. For in-store buys, Home Depot will beat the competitors' price by 10 percent.
3. Utility rebates. Search for rebates on Energy Star appliances at energystar.gov/rebate-finder, and on the website of your utility company. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, most utility appliance programs rebate the purchase of Energy Star certified products. Clothes washers and dryers, refrigerators, and water heaters are among eligible appliances.
