Change-Out Programs Services
ARCA provides unrivaled turnkey services for purchasing and installing new appliances and removing and recycling the displaced units, preventing them from entering the used-appliance market. ARCA has extensive experience in conducting appliance change-out programs that target multi-family housing, low-income families and housing authorities as participants for utility companies across the United States. ARCA’s current change-out programs include Southern California Gas Company, Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) and other Southern California Public Power Authority (SCPPA) member companies in Southern California and Austin Energy in Texas.
Due to ARCA’s strong relationships with major manufacturers, our clients benefit from a significant pricing advantage when making purchases for change-out programs. The larger the program, the bigger the discount, which leads to satisfied customers and significant energy savings. The sooner you start, the sooner the savings begin for both you and your customers.

ARCA has made a conscious decision not to be in the used-appliance business. We assure our clients that all appliances are properly and permanently removed from service, and our decision not to sell used appliances is evidence of our commitment to that practice. Contractors that choose to resell or export used appliances damage the impact of energy efficiency appliance programs; make the right choice…follow the leader.
