rebates for greater savings on qualifying ENERGY
STAR appliances. Dishwashers, clothes washers,
refrigerators and freezers are eligible for rebates.
Both states have recycling
requirements as part of their rebate program, and
both will provide rebates on a first come, first
served basis as long as the funding lasts.
Minnesota's rebate program, called
Trade In and Save, will begin March 1 and end March
31, 2010. Only appliances purchased in that
timeframe will be eligible for the rebate, and
homeowners are limited to one rebate for a single
appliance purchase (maximum of $200). In Wisconsin,
the State Energy Efficient Appliance Rebate Program
(SEEARP) began January 1, 2010. Funds are expected
to last six to 12 months.
