This April, Texans can receive rebates on qualifying appliances purchased between April 16 and April 25. Texas received more than $23 million from the U.S. Department of Energy to establish the Energy Efficient Appliance Rebate Program, and will administer the rebates through the Comptroller’s State Energy Conservation Office.

Participants must be Texas residents, purchase an appliance in-store at a Texas retailer and replace an old appliance with a new, energy-efficient model to receive a mail-in rebate. These state rebates can be stacked with other rebates and incentives, such as manufacturer rebates and federal tax credits. Each household is eligible for up to two appliance rebates, as long as they are for two different types of appliances. All old appliances must be disposed of properly, and residents who recycle their old appliance will receive an additional $75 rebate. Online rebate reservations begin April 5, 2010 at www.secostimulus.org/rebate.
