History

In 1934, George Foerstner began manufacturing commercial walk-in coolers under the name, Amana Refrigeration. Located in Middle Amana, Iowa, the company was owned by the Amana Society, an association of the Amana Colonies, which were settled by the Amish. By the late 1940s, Amana Refrigeration had added consumer refrigeration to its lineup. Eventually, Amana, by then Amana Refrigeration, Inc., added air conditioners. Raytheon Company, inventor of the microwave oven, acquired the corporation. A commercial Radarange was introduced in 1954, and a consumer version was introduced in 1967. Goodman, a heating-and-cooling manufacturer, purchased the company in 1997.[1], [2] The heating-and-cooling division was eventually sold to Maytag Corporation. However, Goodman still owns the license for Amana Heating and Cooling.[3]

Cash for Appliances

As part of the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act (ARRA), a stimulus bill passed in February, the State Energy-Efficient Appliance Rebate Program (Cash for Appliances) has set aside $300 million to encourage consumers to purchase large appliances with the help of rebates between $50 and $200. Consumers may purchase large appliances -- such as air conditioners, dishwashers, refrigerators, ovens, and washers and dryers -- that feature the ENERGY STAR rating.

Each state or territory has received an allocation proportionate to its population, with Califorinia receiving the greatest allocation and the Virgin Islands receiving the smallest.[1]
