Top Tips to Save on Appliances – with Sam Jarman
- Combine Packages and Rebates
Purchasing an appliance package is the easiest way to save money. AjMadison offers a range of appliance bundles that can save money with options from top brands like Samsung, LG, and Whirlpool. As an independent retailer, not a big box store, AjMadison offers access to even more savings, depending on the package selected. If one is in the market for new laundry appliances, AJ Madison’s laundry packages include a washer and dryer, giving the consumer a laundry option that is quick and efficient with options from brands like GE and LG.
- Apply for 0% Financing
Home improvement projects are expensive. Consumers want to keep extra funds in their pockets during projects. AjMadison offers several different plans, including 0% APR options to help customers fund their dream kitchen and start using their new appliances. With credit card interest rates on the rise, consider a better plan as the AjMadison card benefits consumers with different financing options available.
- Shop with the Appliance Pros – Get Extra Discounts
If one is shopping for high-end appliance brands, and working with a qualifying designer or builder, there are special discounts that are extended to trade professionals. First, call 800-570-3355 or visit an AjMadison showroom and speak with an appliance expert to get the full details. The discounts vary depending on the brand but typically the savings are around 10-15% off the retail price. Please note that these special programs may or may not be combined with other consumer promotions and rebates. To get these special luxury deals, please contact a sales associate at one of AjMadison’s showroom locations or by phone at 800-570-3355
- Look for Energy Saving Rebates and Tax Holidays
Energy-efficient appliances can help save money in the long run by reducing monthly energy bills. In addition, many energy-efficient appliances are designed to last longer, which means a homeowner will need to replace them less frequently, further reducing overall costs. On average, ENERGY STAR-rated refrigerators save 15% more energy when compared to standard models, washing machines save 35% more water and 20% more energy, dishwashers save 20% more water, and Air Conditioners save up to 15% more energy.
Utility providers often offer rebates to encourage the replacement of old energy-hogging appliances. One may see cash-back offers on ENERGY STAR-rated air conditioners, refrigerators, or dishwashers. These rebates typically range from $30 to $200. Last year the Inflation Reduction Act passed, providing $4.5 billion in funding to help people upgrade their appliances to new energy-saving technologies. Households could save up to $840 on new induction electric cooking appliances and heat pump electric dryers, plus an additional $500 to reduce the cost of converting from gas to electric. Should one need to upgrade their electrical service, one could get a tax credit of up to $4,000. Lastly, some states offer tax holidays to reduce the cost of buying family and household essentials such as energy star-rated home appliances, school supplies, electronics, and home preparedness items. Home appliances are among the most expensive items for families, and consumers can save up to 9% on regional sales tax during promotional periods.
- Shop the Retail Holidays
Find the best appliance deals around major holidays like President’s Day, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, and Black November. Retail holidays have the best promo pricing, usually up to 30% off, and can be combined with other rebates. Most retail holidays start early and run for three weeks. If a homeowner is in the market for multiple appliances, consider bundling products from the same brand to save money. If a consumer is in the market for just one appliance, such as a dishwasher, range, or washing machine, they will find great prices during a promotional period.
- Save Big on Open Box and Floor Models
A favorite suggestion is to consider an out-of-the-box appliance from AjMadion’s Outlet Center. If one is dreaming of an appliance that is outside of the budget, then consider an open-box appliance, but only from an authorized retailer. Typically, outlet appliances are former showroom display models or unused and returned in perfect working condition. Products purchased from our outlet come with the manufacturer’s warranty. Most are out of the box, meaning that the product is no longer in its factory packaging. All open-box inventory is unused. As a bonus, appliances in outlets sometimes qualify for promotional rebates.
- Get a Deal on Last Year’s Appliance Inventory
Overstock appliance deals can help with a smart purchase. Opting for last year’s models can bring instant discounts. One can usually expect kitchen appliance rebates from $50 to $200 or more, and washer and dryer discounts start around $50. Since the brands are looking to sell inventory, the consumer may also discover additional mail-in rebates and package bundle promotions. Model transitions happen when manufacturers release new versions of their appliances. During this transition, retailers often offer significant discounts on older models to clear their inventory. Since overstock models are in stock, the homeowner won’t have to wait long.
Tip 8. Get Free Appliance Upgrades with Smart Appliances
Smart appliances from leading brands like GE, Samsung, and Whirlpool automatically have updates to ensure one has the latest technology with their home appliances. Most smart appliances connect to the Wi-Fi network, home automation device, or smart speakers like Google Home or Alexa. More products are using artificial intelligence, automatically adjusting to lifestyles.
Tip 9. Avoid High Repair Costs with an Extended Protection Plan
Major appliances are a long-term investment with manufacturer’s warranties, however, once that period ends (typically within 1-2 years), appliance owners must pay for service or consider an extended warranty. AjMadison offers purchase protection that goes beyond the manufacturer’s offering. The AjMadison plan covers the appliance for product breakdowns plus mechanical and electrical failures during normal use. The plan offers a wide range of benefits including reimbursement of $300 for food spoilage or up to $50 for laundry services. One can pick from plans with up to 5 years of full coverage.
Tip 10. Get a Huge Tax Credit Renovation Angel
This next tip can save qualifying donors between $10,000 – $50,000. If one has a high-end kitchen and plans to renovate, consider donating the old cabinets and appliances to Renovation Angel. Renovation Angel is a nonprofit known for salvaging luxury kitchens and their contents. Each year they save 52 million pounds of perfectly good kitchen cabinets and appliances from landfills. The best part is Renovation Angel takes care of the removal of the old kitchen for free, donors receive a tax deduction for the full value of the old kitchen, plus an additional 10% off Miele appliances for the dream kitchen project.
