When does “Cash for Refrigerators” start in your state? (U.S. Department of Energy)

The State Energy Efficient Appliance Rebate Program, also known as "Cash for Refrigerators," has officially started, but whether you can get a rebate yet depends on where you live. The program is being funded with $300 million in federal stimulus money ($23,341,000 for Texas), but each state is operating its own program and has different start dates, budgets, and rules. In general, buyers can earn rebates of $50 to $250 for replacing older, inefficient appliances with Energy Star qualified products. Customers may reserve their rebates online before the program begins, and are required to provide proof of haul-away of replaced appliances. Consumers can also obtain a bonus rebate by providing proof that their old appliances were recycled through a State Energy Conservation Office partner retailer or recycling center. If it's as popular as "Cash for Clunkers," money could run out fast. So if you want to participate, start now by finding out what the deal is in your state. Programs in Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Kansas, New Jersey, Oregon, Vermont, and Wisconsin are already in progress. Click to http://www.energysavers.gov/financial/70020.html for more details.
