Appliance Rebates

  • We have come to rely upon appliances to get us through each day. Sooner or later they wear out, and we are faced with the dilemma of whether to repair or to recycle and replace. If money is an issue, then repairing may be the best option, especially with the abundance of how-to instructions and inexpensive parts. If your decision is to repair rather than to recycle and replace, Mahalo has an abundance of experts who can help. For further information, start by visiting the How-To Pages on Mahalo.com.

    However, besides the cost of repair, it's also important to weigh the annual energy expenditure for an older appliance. Depending on the appliance, the savings can be significant when switching to a more energy-efficient appliance. For more information about efficiency standards for numerous appliances, see ENERGY STAR. Moreover, to learn about how to take advantage of available cost savings on ENERGY STAR rated appliances, see also ENERGY STAR Rebates.

    Now is a great time to start shopping for a new appliance in anticipation of the federal Cash for Appliances program due to begin soon. The rebates can be applied toward large appliances such as air conditioners, dishwashers, refrigerators, ovens, and washers and dryers. For tips about how to dispose unwanted appliances, click here.

  • Cash for Appliances

    As part of the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act (ARRA), a stimulus bill passed in February, Cash for Appliances has set aside $300 million to encourage consumers to purchase large appliances with the help of rebates. The DOE has set a deadline of October 15 for each state and territory to file a formal application to participate in the program, which would provide rebates of between $50 and $200 for appliances that feature the ENERGY STAR rating. However, unlike Cash for Clunkers, consumers are not required to trade in their old appliances.[1]

    Each state or territory will receive an allocation proportionate to its population, with Califorinia receiving the greatest allocation and the Virgin Islands receiving the least.[2]

    Moreover, each state will be able to establish its own rules for distributing the money, which the DOE expects to be gone by November 30.[3]
