If the fridge is still keeping things cool, that is. The program being called Cash for Appliances is expected to begin late fall or early in 2010. The Department of Energy will dish out $300 million for the program. Consumers can receive rebates ranging from $50-$200 when purchasing approved appliances that have the Energy Star logo. Eligibility will vary by state, so be sure to check your local rules before heading to the stores. |
