The $300 Million Appliance Stimulus package is proof of the present administration’s efforts to preserve and create jobs, conserve energy, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Take advantage of the Appliance Stimulus Package Rebates, on top of energy saving rebates that are available in about ½ of the states to replace that old refrigerator that is costing you a ton of money to operate. GE ENERGY STAR Refrigerators are 20% more energy efficient than non energy star refrigerators, they are 40% more energy efficient than conventional refrigerators sold in 2001. In addition to saving you money on your power bill getting an ENERGY STAR qualified GE refrigerator will prevent the emission of more than 2200 lbs of carbon dioxide over its lifetime compared to a conventional refrigerator over the same 13-year period average life of a refrigerator. It would take one year by 1/4 acre of trees in a southeastern US forest to absorb this amount of carbon dioxide. In some areas, purchasing an ENERGY STAR qualified refrigerator may make consumers eligible for utility rebates. Check with your local utility company to see if you’re eligible.
The appliance industry has been hit hard by this recession with sales of by about 20%, Earlier this year GE was considering shutting down an entire refrigerator manufacturing plant but instead opted to keep it open and running with a reduced workforce.
