ST. PAUL, MN – Beginning March 1, 2010, Minnesota will implement an Appliance Rebate Program, commonly known as Cash for Appliances. The program helps working families replace their old household appliances with new Energy Star-qualified appliances. The move would save them energy and money. State Representative Jim Davnie (DFL- Minneapolis) is encouraging Minnesotans to take advantage of this new opportunity.
“Minnesota families should look into this great program," said Rep. Davnie. “Purchasing new appliances is often overlooked but in the long run buying energy-efficient appliances helps rein in families’ energy costs. Cash for Appliances gives families another good reason to invest in new appliances and save money in the future.”
The Cash for Appliances program contains rebates for the purchase of large household appliances such as clothes washers, dishwashers, refrigerators and freezers. The rebates run from $50 to $200, depending on the new appliance purchased and if the old machine was recycled.
