CASH For Appliances - Just in Time for the holidays

CASH for Appliances—
Coming Your Way SOON!!
By the end of 2009, consumers nationwide
will be able to take advantage of a federal
"cash for appliances" program offering
rebates on purchases of a wide array of
home appliances certified as energyefficient
by the EPA's Energy Star program.
Backed by an initial $300 million in funding
from the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act, the state-run rebate
program is intended to help make
American homes more energy-efficient
while further stimulating the economy.
Who Will Run the Program?
Each state will administer its own cash for
appliances program. The states will be free
to select which residential Energy Star
qualified appliances to include in their
programs and the individual rebate
amount offered for each appliance.
What Can You Buy?
The Department of Energy (DOE) has
recommended that the states focus their
cash for appliances rebate efforts on
heating and cooling equipment,
appliances, and water heaters as these
products offer the greatest energy savings
potential. Energy Star qualified appliance
categories eligible for rebates include:
central air conditioners, heat pumps (air
source and geothermal), boilers, furnaces
(oil and gas), room air conditioners, clothes
washers, dishwashers, freezers,
refrigerators, and water heaters.
When Does it Start?
The DOE plans to have distributed funding to
the states by November 30. As a result, the
cash for appliances rebates could be available
in stores just in time for Christmas shopping.
