Texans - Funds Are Running Out On The Appliance Rebate Program

Since December 20, 2010, the Texas Appliance Mail-In Rebate Program has been accepting applications. Approximately $18.5 million was earmarked for the mail-in rebate program, which will remain open until the funds are depleted. 

So if your frig, washer/dryer, hot water heater, AC, heat pump and microwave are nearing replacement time – buy Energy Star Rated appliances and get your rebate. 

I thought a review of where the funds stand as of today - January 7, 2011 -- will be helpful for all those who are interested in participating in the appliance rebate program.  Here goes:

 Estimated Rebate Funds Remaining

 Estimated Rebate Funds

 Visit the web site (noted above) for all program details and claim your savings – up to $1,000 on central AC systems.  You can download an application and mail it in.  Be patient – it will take 6 to 8 weeks to receive the rebate.
