Cash for Appliances guidelines announced

Guidelines for the Illinois Energy Star Appliance Rebate Program, funded with $12.4 million in stimulus funds, have been announced.  The program, which provides incentives for individuals to replace older appliances with specific residential Energy Star qualified appliances, water heaters, and HVAC equipment, is being rolled out in two phases.  As of January 31, 2010, consumers can receive “point of purchase” rebates on certain heating and cooling equipment and water heaters. “Point of purchase” rebates on Energy Star qualified clothes washers, dishwasher, refrigerators, freezers, and room air conditioners will be available during April 16 - 25, 2010.  For more information, visit this site or call 877-782-7005.
