If you are in the market for a new home appliance like a washing machine or refrigerator, you are in luck. Virginia’s Energy Efficient Appliance Rebate Program is about to begin and you could be eligible for a rebate on that new appliance. But you better act fast!
Beginning on April 28th at 11 a.m. you will be able to reserve your Energy Efficient Appliance Rebate by visiting the website, http://www.dmme.virginia.gov/DE/ARRA-Public/ARRA.shtml. All rebates are on a first-come, first served basis. Reserve your rebate first, then you will have 60 days to actually purchase the equipment and apply for the rebate.
The rebate program is Virginia’s $7.45 million portion of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The goal of Virginia’s program is to increase residential energy conservation through more efficient appliances and stimulate the Commonwealth’s economy and job growth through additional retail sales of ENERGY STAR products.
To qualify, you must be a Virginia homeowner purchasing one of the approved items for a residence. The purchase must be made at a store in the state of Virginia or on-line from a retailer with a store in Virginia (that’s the part about stimulating the Virginia economy). You will need to sign a statement that you will no longer be using the old appliance in the home (no moving that old fridge to the basement or garage to use it as a second fridge).
Here’s what will be covered and the federal rebate available:
Energy Star washing machine - $75
Energy Star refrigerator - $60
Energy Star air source heat pump - $300
Energy Star storage gas water heater - $35
Energy Star tankless gas water heater - $225
Energy Star gas furnace - $250
In addition, you may qualify for additional rebates from your natural gas company.
If you act quick, you can take advantage of these government incentives and make your home more energy efficent. For more information, check out the website.
