Energy Efficient Appliance Rebate Program

Posted: 03/24/2010 05:18 PM

A message from the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts:

This spring, Texans can save money and conserve energy through the Energy Efficient Appliance Rebate Program.

In April, Texans can receive rebates on qualifying appliances, including but not limited to refrigerators, dishwashers and water heaters, purchased between April 16 and April 25. The State of Texas received more than $23 million from the U.S. Department of Energy to establish the Energy Efficient Appliance Rebate Program, the first of its kind in Texas, and will administer the rebates through the Comptroller's State Energy Conservation Office.

Participants must be Texas residents, purchase an appliance in-store at a Texas retailer and replace an old appliance with a new, energy-efficient model to receive a mail-in rebate. These state rebates can be stacked with other rebates and incentives, such as manufacturer rebates and federal tax credits. Each household is eligible for up to two appliance rebates, as long as they are for two different types of appliances. All old appliances must be disposed of properly, and residents who recycle their old appliance will receive an additional $75 rebate.

More information can be found at the State Comptroller's SECO website at www.secostimulus.org/rebate.
