Save on energy-efficient home appliances

You might qualify for rebates on energy-efficient home appliances

 

Energy-efficient home appliances appeal to many homeowners who want to save money on the rising cost of utility bills and also to support the environment by consuming less energy and having a smaller carbon footprint. Financial incentives and rebate programs can help to offset the initial purchase cost but many people buy without even knowing that they were eligible for these savings. In some cases, you could be eligible for a rebate or a tax credit on home appliances you’ve already purchased.

 

Below are some places to check for rebates or other savings programs on energy-saving home appliances before you buy.
