Illinois Gets Second Chance at Energy Star Rebate

By Jacque Day

Illinois – Illinois residents will again have a chance for discounts on Energy Star-qualified replacement appliances. Governor Pat Quinn says beginning 8 AM September 24, customers can receive a 15-percent point-of-sale instant rebate. Eligibility applies to purchases of Energy Star-qualified refrigerators, freezers, clothes washers and dishwashers at participating retail stores. Rebates will last as long as the $3 million pot holds out. Organizers expect funds to run out the same day.
