Just when you thought you’ve heard it all comes another government program that you hope would help you in this down economy. Yes, welcome to the Cash for Refrigerators stimulus program! Well, not just refrigerators but other household appliances as well like washing machines, dishwashers, etc… Thus you might also want to call it the Cash for Appliances program.
This program is similar to the Cash for Clunkers program in that you get a discounted price for your appliance. However, the main difference would be there would be no trade-in required. Starting late this fall, you could get a rebate of $50 to $200 for buying a new, more energy-efficient appliance or more specifically, Energy Star-certified machines.
As before, not only is this program designed as an economic stimulus, it is also designed to help save the environment by replacing those old non-energy efficient appliances. Check out the benefits of having an Energy Star-certified refrigerator (this is just for starters, there are different benefits for each appliance…) as outlined in the energy-star website:
- Slash your energy bills.
ENERGY STAR qualified refrigerators are required by the U.S. Department of Energy to use 20% less energy than models not labeled with the ENERGY STAR logo. Choose a new qualified model rather than a non-qualified model and cut your energy bills by $165 over the lifetime of your fridge. - Replace your old fridge for bigger savings.
If you still have a fridge from the 1980s, replace it with an ENERGY STAR qualified model and save over $100 each year on your utility bills. Replace a fridge from the 1970s and save nearly $200 each year! Use the ENERGY STAR Savings Calculator to find out exactly how much money you’ll save by replacing your existing refrigerator. - Get the latest features.
You can find the ENERGY STAR label on the most advanced refrigerators in a variety of designs, including French-door, side-by-side, bottom-mount freezer, and top-mount freezer. Many ENERGY STAR qualified refrigerators use innovative drawer designs and improved temperature controls to keep your food fresher, longer. - Protect the environment.
Nearly 70% of U.S. electricity is generated with coal and natural gas, which release greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere and contribute to global warming. ENERGY STAR qualified refrigerators use less energy and help us reduce our impact on the environment.
