Massachusetts Residents Snatch Up Generous Appliance Rebates
Consumers were eager to replace old appliances using the federally funded energy efficient appliance rebate program.
June 2, 2010—Massachusetts saw demand for ENERGY STAR® appliances jump when it launched its state appliance rebate program on April 22. The program closed 3 hours after opening, as more than 26,000 residents snatched up some $5.4 million in available rebates.
The rebate program "came at the right time and people were happy to replace their old appliances," said Lyn Huckabee, program manager for the Massachusetts rebate program. Massachusetts offered discounts ranging from $50 for freezers to $250 for dishwashers, which was the most popular appliance sold. Rebates were also offered for refrigerators ($200) and clothes washers ($175).
Consumers were eager to take advantage of the large rebates, says Huckabee. "The program provided a stimulus for the middle class because it helped people get appliances that they couldn't otherwise afford."
The program was so successful that the state has decided to offer appliance rebates to the nearly 13,000 residents on the waiting list using federal and other state energy efficiency funds.
