Cash for Clunkers for Appliances coming this Fall 2009

[LIGHTNIN]

This hit the news Thursday or Friday.  Just Google cash appliances and click on news.

Its not a done deal yet, But they're saying will be up and ready mid October news article says something different, like rebates up to $300 another says $200-$1000 sliding rebate based on the cost of the appliance.

Appliance for the rebate vary also on each article, includes  high -efficiency household appl., furnaces and a/c systems, heat pumps, boilers,room air conditioners. Household appl incl refrigerators,dishwasher.clothes washers & dyers,freezers and water heaters. Looks like rebates will vary between states.

Wow !! My pray answered I desperately need a refrig mine is 26 yrs old.

This was typed @ 2 am please excuse the grammar & spelling thanks

           Would LOVE to have central heat and a/c since I only have small portable heaters & window a/c.

           Now all I need is to fix my floor, its very friendly( a little wavely)LOL

Hope this helps a lot of jobs and people who need these appl.

The most detailed article I could find is here:

http://www.businessweek.com/bwdaily/dnflash/content/aug2009/db20090821_304909.htm

Main points:

• Will start in late fall
• Each State must apply to DOE by 15 October for Federal funds to be administered by the State, so details of the program will vary among States
• Unlike the car program, customers won't have to trade in old appliances
• Only appliances with Energy Star seal will qualify for rebates (roughly half of major household appliances sold last year had the Energy Star seal)
• Rebates will be roughly $50 to $200 per appliance, depending on details (which, as noted above, will vary from State to State).

Woohoo! Our house still has the "builder's model" (AKA crap) dishwasher that rocks the whole kitchen counter when it runs...sounds like a jet engine in the kitchen.

This might be a good reason to replace the fridge and oven as well...
