Cash for Clunky Appliances

In efforts to vamp up energy efficiency, the federal government is implementing a rebate program for appliances. People can swap in their old “clunky” appliances for new energy-efficient ones, saving electricity and saving on monthly bills.

A 20-year-old fridge can use three times as much energy as a new Energy Star-approved fridge. The age of your appliances impact your actual savings, so check into it before purchasing.

Important things to know:
Plans vary by state. Check out energysavers.gov for details.
Buy before it ends. Like the car rebate program Cash for Clunkers, this program has a set amount of federal money allocated to it. Once the $300 million is gone, the program will likely end. It is expected to run out quickly.
