Texas – Trade Up Appliance Rebate Program – UPDATE
Friday, April 2nd, 2010Cash-for-Clunker Program to Extend to Appliances in April
Wednesday, February 24th, 2010Intro: This article might be a bit “out of the norm” compared to our typical computer-based blog-posts but serves as an example of what using your computer can do for you. I found out about this program, and the details, via Google Reader. Reader allows me to follow multiple blogs and pick out the articles I want to read. In this case, I was following the Switched.com blog when I ran across the article titled States Extend Cash-for-Clunker to Appliances. The article contained the links I needed to drill down to the Texas Appliance Rebates web site.
That’s right, the highly successful Cash for Clunkers program will soon extend to home appliances, like dishwashers, freezers, refrigerators and air-conditioners. The thought process here is that the program will encourage consumers to put more money back into the economy, while removing older, less efficient appliances from the “grid.” As Terrence O’Brien (author of States Extend Cash-for-Clunker to Appliances) points out, “cars aren’t the only aging and inefficient products that people tend to retain long past their expiration dates.”
