Holly It looks like the government may be helping you to improve your home and cut back on your energy bill. Later this fall you may be able to get a government stimulus rebate on energy star appliances. This rebate will be on top of any existing government, store or manufactures incentive meaning you could save a lot of money if you shop smart. It’s kind of like the cash for clunkers program, but you don’t have to take in your old appliance. You just walk into the store and buy. I love the idea, but many think it won’t take off. What do you think?
I believe that many American consumers will be able to afford to buy a new dishwasher, washer, dryer or refrigerator. It doesn’t cost as much as a car and since this goes into effect later in the fall you could just tell yourself it’s a christmas gift. Another good thing about the program is that you still have your old appliance and there are many options you have for that old appliance. You can keep it, if it’s an extra fridge you may need it. Or you can find a local program that will pay you to take your old appliance. The third option is to donate the appliance and get a great tax write off.
If or when this goes into effect it would be a great time to update your home and improve the resale value by getting better appliances that will increase the value of your home and improve your electric bill.
