During the program, the incremental cost of each device selected to be replaced will be asked. The incremental cost is the added expense incurred from buying a more efficient device. For example: if a non-conservative clothes washing machine costs $ 300.00, and a water conservative model costs $ 400.00, the incremental cost incurred from purchasing a water conservative model would be: $400.00-$300.00=$100.00.
