Florida Offers Rebates On Appliance Purchases
April 17, 2010
Florida residents can purchase certain news ENERGY STAR appliances and receive a 20-percent rebate from the state, plus another $75 for proving that an old appliance was recycled.
Select ENERGY STAR refrigerators, freezers, clothes washers, dishwashers, gas water heaters (tank-less), and room air conditioners are eligible for a rebate of 20 percent off the retail price and $75 for recycling the old appliance, up to $1,500 per household.
“Now is the perfect time to replace old appliances with energy-efficient ones that will save consumers money for years to come, and the opportunity for a rebate gives Floridians the incentive to buy this month,” Governor Charlie Crist said. “I applaud Florida’s retailers for their efforts to assist Floridians as they select appliances that will qualify for the rebate.”
Florida residents can begin reserving their share of $17.5 million in rebate funds by obtaining a priority number on a first-come, first-served basis at www.rebates.com/florida. While a Priority Number is not required, applications with a priority number will be processed prior to those without one.
The Florida ENERGY STAR Appliance Rebate Program will provide rebates on approximately 68,000 ENERGY STAR appliances purchased from Florida retailers, pumping at least $62 million into Florida’s economy, in addition to generating at least $4 million in tax revenues. Retailers must provide a sales receipt that includes the retailer’s name and address, purchase date, and product information that includes the type of appliance, model number and price.
All applications must be postmarked on or before Monday, May 10, 2010; however, because rebates will be distributed on a first-come, first served basis, the first applications to be processed will be more likely to receive rebates.

How is this going to help the average person afford an appliance? I don’t get it? I don’t have the money for an appliance. So how am I gonna afford to pay full price…just to wait for a reimbursement 8-10 weeks later? Oh wait, I could pull the money out of savings since I will be putting some of it back later. Ummm, nevermind, I don’t have savings…I live paycheck to paycheck. I guess this is only for people who make enough to put some back!
Is a stove on this list?
