$300 Rebate For Replacing Your Energy-Hogging Clunker Appliances.

Beginning later this fall, a $300 rebate program under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 will encourage consumers to buy new ENERGY STAR-rated home appliances. The new program authorizes rebates of between $50 – $200 for purchases of efficient household appliances. This is great news for folks who have been thinking of replacing their old energy hog refrigerators or freezers, as newer energy-efficient models can save up to $150 a year in utility costs – and use WAY less energy. The appliances that are covered under the program will include:

  • Central and window air conditioners
  • Heat pumps
  • Furnaces
  • Washing Machines
  • Dishwashers
  • Freezers
  • Refrigerators
  • Water heaters

For more info, check out the Energy.gov website. And while you don’t have to turn in your old appliance to get the rebate from the government, hopefully everyone will recycle them correctly!

    I was able to see many hotels and resorts working as a provider. But sadly none of them even compared to the class and style of The Marmara Bodrum Hotel. This seems like the perfect place to go on a honeymoon or on that magical vacation you have always dreamed about.
  • Thanks for passing this information forward!

    I thought I read (and correct me if I'm wrong) that each state will be different. I thought that the states get to administer the rebate. So, won't we each have to find out if our particular state has jumped on the appliance rebate bandwagon?
  • Wish this was in place last year when we had to replace most of our old appliances. Must say, the new ones save us a ton $$$ on energy bills. This will be a great program to reduce CO2.
