Attendees of CWLP's Smart Energy Forum on Tuesday learned about the upcoming appliance rebate and today the official announcement went out. Rebates will be offered to encourage people to replace some of the most common energy-sucking appliances with newer, more efficient models.
It applies to energy star refrigerators ($400), dishwashers ($200) and dehumidifiers ($100). Rebate applications will be available at local stores. You can view the details and participating stores at the Energy Services page. Funds are provided through federal stimulus grants.
This is on top of a long list of continuing efficiency programs, including the refrigerator roundup, air conditioner rebate, home energy audits and more.
Participating in any of the programs doesn't require you to thank an energy services office employee, Barack Obama, or tree-hugging clean energy advocates. But you could.
