Climate Vouchers 2026: shortlist an appliance before you redeem

The year-end sales will bring plenty of appliance deals marked as voucher-eligible. Eligible Singapore households can use up to S$400 in Climate Vouchers on energy- and water-efficient products until 31 December 2027, and since 15 April 2026 the list has included induction stoves and 5-tick clothes dryers. That makes the vouchers useful, but not urgent. The better question is which appliance your home actually needs to replace.

NEA’s April 2025 announcement of the S$400 Climate Vouchers set the total and the end-2027 deadline. NEA’s Committee of Supply 2026 release added the two new product types. Nothing about November changes those dates.

At a glance

• Value: up to S$400 per eligible household, as a S$300 set and a S$100 set that can be combined in one purchase.
• Who qualifies: Singapore Citizen or permanent resident households registered and living in an HDB flat, and Singapore Citizen households registered and living in a private residential property.
• How to claim: log in to RedeemSG with Singpass through the official Climate Vouchers claim link. Each household receives one set of each voucher.
• Use by: 31 December 2027.
• Where: participating retailers only. Vouchers are scanned in person, in store or, with some retailers, on delivery of an online order.
• New in 2026: induction stoves and 5-tick clothes dryers, eligible from 15 April 2026.

What can Climate Vouchers buy?

The programme’s Climate Vouchers eligible products page lists 12 types of product, most with a minimum tick rating:

• Refrigerators: 3 ticks and above.
• Air-conditioners, clothes dryers and water heaters: 5 ticks.
• Washing machines: 4 ticks.
• LED lights: 2 ticks and above.
• Shower fittings, water closets, sink or bib taps and mixers, and basin taps and mixers: 3 ticks.
• Direct-current fans and induction stoves, listed without a tick rating.

The threshold matters more than the sale banner. A 4-tick air-conditioner does not qualify, however attractive its discount, because the programme lists air-conditioners at 5 ticks. For induction stoves and fans, check the programme’s product pages for any conditions before assuming a particular model is covered.

Is your household eligible?

Eligibility follows where the household is registered and living. In an HDB flat, Singapore Citizen and permanent resident households qualify; in a private home, the programme covers Singapore Citizen households. The Climate Vouchers FAQ is the place to check an unusual situation.

HDB households could claim the S$300 set from 15 April 2024, and the additional S$100 set has been available since 15 April 2025. Check what remains in RedeemSG before planning a purchase. Where several adults share a home, agree who holds the vouchers before anyone goes shopping, so two people are not planning to spend the same S$400.

Start with the appliance, not the voucher

A voucher can make an unnecessary replacement feel free. Work through a short sequence instead:

1. Name the job. Which appliance is failing, or which runs the longest hours in your home?
2. Read the tick rating on the exact model’s label, then check it against the threshold for that product type.
3. Confirm the retailer is on the Climate Vouchers participating retailers list and ask how it scans vouchers.
4. Compare what you would pay after vouchers, plus delivery, installation and removal of the old unit.

Here is a fictional example with illustrative prices. A three-person household in a four-room flat plans to replace a 13-year-old refrigerator, and has also noticed a 5-tick air-conditioner promotion. The refrigerator runs around the clock and is the reason they are shopping, so it gets the shortlist. Fridge A (3 ticks) costs S$1,100 and Fridge B (4 ticks) S$1,400. After S$400 in vouchers, the household would pay S$700 or S$1,000 before delivery.

Whether the extra S$300 is worthwhile depends on the difference in running costs, not the number of ticks alone. Our energy label method shows how to estimate it, and our three non-negotiables brief helps with fit and features. The air-conditioner remains a separate decision.

Using the vouchers in the year-end sales

Treat the vouchers as a way of paying, not as a price comparison. The same model can carry different prices, delivery charges and installation terms at different participating retailers, so compare the amount you would pay after vouchers at each.

The programme says vouchers must be scanned in person. If you plan to order online around 11.11 on Wednesday 11 November, confirm before checkout that the retailer can scan them on delivery; otherwise you may need to buy in store. Keep the receipt, model number and delivery terms together—our checkout records guide lists what to save.
