State appliance rebates starting soon

If you plan on buying a new appliance or two this year, you've picked the right time.

The state of Colorado is tentatively scheduled to implement a mail-in rebate program to help residents replace older, inefficient appliances with ENERGY STAR® qualified appliances in March. The program will continue until the state runs out of the more than $4.7 million set aside for the rebate.

Eligible products include:
• Refrigerators
• Clothes washers
• Dishwashers
• Gas storage water heaters
• Gas, tankless water heaters
• Gas furnaces
• Gas boilers

Check with state officials for information on proper recycling or disposal of appliances. For more information about this and other rebates, visit http://www.colorado.gov/energy/index.php?/resources/rebates-for-program-participants.
