Austin Energy Rebates to Save Money Fall 2009
Posted by Crystal Kilpatrick on Tuesday, August 25th, 2009 at 1:11am.The Cash for Clunkers program just ended, but may get a chance to take advantage of another round of rebates this fall--this time by replacing your old appliances.
Part of the stimulus package Congress approved earlier this year included $300 million for the Energy Efficient Appliance Rebate program.
By buying a new energy efficient appliance you could get a rebate worth between $50 to $200. Here's a list of the appliance categories that will qualify:
· central air conditioners
· heat pumps (air source and geothermal)
· boilers
· furnaces (oil and gas)
· room air conditioners
· clothes washers
· dishwashers
· freezers
· refrigerators
• water heaters.
The program is expected to take effect sometime in November.
Remember Austin Energy currently offers rebates if you buy certain energy efficient appliances and in some cases you may be able to take advantage of both discounts.
Austin Water Utility stopped a free toilet giveaway program this summer after it gave away thousands of free toilets.
