Starting February 12, people in Georgia who buy big appliances with energy star ratings can get some money back.
It’s up to $199 for a water heater… and $50 for a refrigerator.
The U.S. Department of Energy spent $9 million to set up the program in the state.
Those who want to take advantage must apply on line or call a toll free number after buying the appliance.
The program is limited to one type of appliance per household, but a household can get rebates on several different kinds of appliances, up to $1200.
State officials anticipate the program will be popular and advise confirming the availability of funds once the program rolls out by going to www.GeorgiaRebate.com or calling (866) 296-1633.
