It might be a good weekend to invest in a new refrigerator or washer and dryer but time is running out for North Carolina consumers to save on energy-efficient appliances.
NC has less than $200,000, or about 15 percent, in funding remaining for the second phase of its Energy Star Appliance and Rebate program, in which consumers can get $75 to $300 back when buying new appliances to replace older, less efficient ones.
Phase Two, which started Tuesday, covers purchases of certain refrigerators, freezers, washers, dryers, dishwashers, water heaters, heat pumps, furnaces and air conditioners.
Buyers can apply for the rebates, available on a first-come, first-served basis, online or by calling 1-877-379-7323.
