Thinking about replacing your old refrigerator or washing machine and helping the environment (and the economy) at the same time, you might be interested to know that Maine has received a $1.1 million federal grant that will provide rebates for energy efficient appliances.
In an announcement by First District Congresswoman Chellie Pingree, rebates of up to $75 will be available when qualifying appliances such as air conditioners, dehumidifiers, refrigerators, freezers, etc are purchased.
Old appliances do not need to be traded in. Consumers simply need to complete and mail in rebate forms with a receipt.
The program was initiated in October by Efficiency Maine and will now be extended through the summer of 2010 with funds from the national Recovery Act.
