Just as the brouhaha over the immensely popular Cash for Clunkers car-buying incentive program is dying down, here comes yet another ingenious government program targeting home improvement and energy efficiency upgrades on appliances. That's the catch; replacement appliances must to be Energy Efficient.
But don't panic. Here's all the information you'll need to take advantage of this ambitious and innovative $300 million Program (http://www.energy.gov/news2009/7634.htm) and here's were you can find the Energy Star qualifiying appliances (http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=appliances.pr_appliances).
