Georgia - Residential Energy-Efficient Appliance Rebate Program

Summary

All funds for this program have been reserved. The program is currently only accepting waiting list applications. Note: Under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is providing a total of $300 million to U.S. states, U.S. territories and the District of Columbia to establish rebate programs for new energy-efficient appliances that replace existing appliances in homes. Each state and territory has designed its own program. Rebates will be available until the state or territory program's funding is exhausted. Be sure to confirm that rebate funds are still available in your state or territory before making purchasing decisions. As of February 12, 2010, Georgia's Residential Energy-Efficient Appliance Rebate Program is offering rebates for select Energy Star appliances installed in households in Georgia. This program is administered by the Georgia Environmental Finance Authority (GEFA). These rebates are available for Energy Star refrigerators, freezers, washers, dishwashers, heating and cooling equipment, and various types of water heaters, including solar water heaters. These appliances must replace an existing appliance. After purchasing the eligible Energy Star appliances, individuals must apply for the rebate online or via phone and then submit supporting documentation within 30 days of application. Equipment purchased online is not eligible to receive rebates. Rebates will be issued in the form of a prepaid credit card. Information on the availability of funds can be obtained by visiting the web site listed above or calling 1-866-296-1633.
