As part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (commonly known as the "stimulus"), the US Department of Energy has provided the State of Illinois $12,379,000 for a Cash for Appliances program. The money is available as an instant rebate for ENERGY STAR rated appliances from participating vendors for:
- Refrigerators
- Freezers
- Clothes washers
- Dishwashers
- Room air conditioners
- Gas storage water heaters
- Gas tankless water heaters
- Heat pump water heaters
- Gas and propane furnaces
- Gas boilers
- Central air conditioners
- Air source heat pumps
It's hard to imagine a vendor not participating in this offer because their customers will receive a discount with the US Government footing the rest of the bill. You can also receive an additional mail-in rebate with proof that your old appliance was hauled away when the new one was delivered.
The first phase of the program began on January 31 and is available for for water heaters and heating and ventilation products. The second phase will launch around Earth Day and will last until there's money left.
