Idaho Cash for Appliances Rebate Program:

The Idaho State Energy Efficiency Appliance Rebate Program (SEEARP), commonly known as Cash for Appliances Rebate Program, will have $1.3 million to distribute as rebates for residential customers who replace a working appliance with a new ENERGY STAR appliance. 

1. 1.     When will the rebate program begin?

            The target launch date is February 2010.  This is an estimate; the exact launch date will be publicized with a press release and on the program website when it is finalized.   

1. 2.     Will the rebates be retroactive?  For example, if I buy a qualifying appliance now, can I apply for the rebate when the program launches?

   Rebate forms will be available through the OER website (http://www.energy.idaho.gov/) in February.
