Want to reduce your environmental impact without major lifestyle changes? Exploring electric lawn care equipment is an accessible step towards a greener footprint. Many brands now offer comprehensive lines of yard tools, from mowers to leaf blowers, all powered by interchangeable batteries. Switching to electric is easier and more beneficial than ever, especially with available Lawn Care Programs.
Discover the Lawn Care Rebate Program
Take advantage of rebates while upgrading your lawn equipment. Here’s a breakdown of the incentives available:
- Electric Lawn Mowers: Receive a $50 rebate for choosing electric.
- Manual or Mulching Mowers: Even traditional options qualify for a $50 rebate.
- Electric Weed Whackers, Leaf Blowers, and Hedge Trimmers: Each tool is eligible for a $25 rebate.
- Complete Set Rebate: Purchase an electric mower, hedge trimmer, weed whacker, and leaf blower together and qualify for a significant $150 rebate.
- Purchase Date Eligibility: Items must be purchased after July 1, 2022, to qualify for the electric equipment rebates. (Note: Rebates for mulching, manual, and electric mowers under the original program are not date-restricted).
Embracing electric lawn care programs is not only financially smart but also a significant step towards environmental responsibility. The California Air Resources Board highlights the impact: one hour of gas lawn mower use produces smog-forming chemicals equivalent to driving a car 300 miles. Leaf blowers are even more impactful due to their two-stroke engines; an hour of leaf blower operation equals the emissions of driving 1,100 miles.
The EPA estimates that gas-powered lawn care equipment contributes about 20.4 million tons of CO2 annually. By participating in electric lawn care programs and utilizing rebates, you contribute to cleaner air and a healthier environment, making a positive impact right in your backyard.
