Letter From Governor Schwarzenegger Regarding Cash For Appliances

With Or Without Cash For Appliances, It’s STILL A Great Time To Buy Appliances!
If you’ve been in the market recently for any major product, you’ve realized prices haven’t dropped significantly in the past few years. I mean, there really aren’t too many great deals on cars or kitchen appliances. Right?
Well, not really. As I’m sure you know by now, there’s a cash incentive when you dispose of your environmentally unfriendly refrigerator that you’ve owned for 20 years. In fact, there’s a cash incentive when you dispose of your clothes washer and your room air conditioner as well. Up to $350.00 in incentives in fact.
But the problem is, you have to purchase a new one on their short list of acceptable models. Most are extremely expensive.
For example, if you’re in the market for a new refrigerator, take this Whirlpool model. As you can see, it’s #1 Rated Side-by-Side Refrigerator by a leading consumer magazine. 25.6 Cubic Feet, stainless steel and beautiful! It’s sale price is $1,799.00! So, if you do the math, you’d receive $200.00 back from the State of California for the Cash For Appliances Program and another $50.00 to $65.00 from your local utility company.
You’ll be saving the Earth and saving up to 75% of what your existing 20 year old refrigerator is guzzling.
I think the program is great. But not really for the rebates. I think it’s really a great program due to the buzz it’s been creating. I love it! And, we’ve been reaping the fruits of it. Although, I’m happy to sell a fridge for $1,799.00, and getting you your extra $265.00 back in rebates, I’d much prefer to sell you this refrigerator! Or this refrigerator!
Why spend $1,534.00, for a 25 cubic foot refrigerator, when you can get a very similar refrigerator for only $850 and some change? You may not get $200 back from the government or up to $65 back from your utility company, but you’d get about $950.00 in savings! And this refrigerator and this refrigerator is also an energy star model, so you’d still be saving the environment and yourself up to about 75% of the energy your existing refrigerator is currently guzzling!
I think it’s a no-brainer!
So if you’re in the market for a new refrigerator, clothes washer, room air conditioner, or really any other kitchen or home appliance, come on by, or visit us here. Now is the perfect time to buy even if not for the great cash incentives of the Cash For Appliance Program!
California Will Give You $50.00 For This!
Have an old washing machine like this one sitting around waiting to be picked up? Planning on purchasing a new one for your home?
The Cash for Appliances program begins on April 22, 2010 (Earth Day) in California and would be a great time for you to get it done!
As a Platinum Partner with the program, Feder’s Distributors will be happy to pick up your old washing machine when we deliver your new one, haul it away and recycle it for you at no extra charge! We’ll give you a receipt for proof of recycling, along with all the forms that need to be filled out so you can receive a $50 check from the state.
As you probably already know, California received $35.2 million to educate and give incentives to California consumers when they purchase brand-new energy star qualified washers, refrigerators, and room air conditioners.
If you plan to purchase any of these products, now would be the time to get a move on!
In addition to receiving $50.00 for your old washing machine, you can also earn $200.00 for your old refrigerator, and $50.00 for your old room air conditioner. But not only that, you can still qualify for any additional manufacturer rebates as well as any additional utility company rebates! Virtually making your new energy star qualified appliance close to free!
For example, when you turn in your old washing machine (like the one that’s more than 30 years old in the pictures above), and purchase a new one, you’ll receive a $50.00 check!
If you plan on purchasing a new energy star qualified refrigerator from Whirlpool, for example, you’ll not only receive $200.00 from the state just for turning your old refrigerator in, an additional $65.00 from your utility company (like DWP) and an additional $35.00 from DWP just for recycling your old refrigerator is also available. Also, if Whirlpool has additional rebates for purchasing said energy star model, you’ll be eligible to receive that as well!
If you turn in your old room air conditioner, not only will you receive the $50 from California for the Cash for Appliances program, but you could also receive an additional $50 from your local utility company!
The best part? You’ll be helping keep your environment cleaner an use a much small percentage of energy than your old washer, refrigerator, or air conditioner!
We hope to see you on April 22, because the funds may run out soon (as they did in two days for many of the states who implemented the program months ago!).
Please contact us if you have any questions about this or any other program!
Don’t Buy A New Washing Machine, Refrigerator, Or Air Conditioner!
Don’t buy a new washing machine, refrigerator, or air conditioner in California until April 22nd (Earth Day)!
If your washing machine, refrigerator, or air conditioner has bit the dust, or is about to, you should wait to purchase a new one on April 22, 2010 through May 23, 2010.
As we’ve discussed here, here, and here, and tweeted about here, here, here, here, here, here, and here, The US government has set aside $300,000,000 for a rebate program similar to the Cash For Clunkers program last year called Cash For Appliances.
Details for the program in California have been sketchy until yesterday. On its official website Cash4Appliances.org, it was announced that rebates will be available for Californians who purchase a washer, refrigerator, or air conditioner between April 22, 2010 (Earth Day) through May 23, 2010, and recycle their old one through a certified recycler. The rebate applicant must be a California residential consumer and must purchase an eligible appliance that meets the state’s efficiency requirements. The purchased appliance must replace an existing, working appliance.
Rebates are first-come, first-serve and will be processed as received until funds are depleted. Rebate applications must be postmarked by June 25, 2010.
Consumers who take advantage of this program can receive $200 back for a qualified refrigerator, $100 back for a qualified clothes washer, and $50 back for a qualified room air conditioner!
Customers will receive their rebates within four to six weeks if the rebate claim is complete. A complete claim contains the filled out and signed rebate claim form with appliance serial number, certificate of recycled appliance, a copy of utility bill (to verify California residential address), and a copy of the sales receipt.
Additionally, the California Cash For Appliances rebates can be combined with other manufacturer, retailer, or utility company rebates! Like these.
Feder’s Outlet has several qualifying models in stock for pennies on the dollar like this and this, and Feder’s Distributors has most of the qualifying room air conditioners in-stock all the time for already the best prices in the country!

Cash For Appliances Program Finally Getting Close To Reality
It looks like details are finally being ironed out in the new Cash-For-appliances program slated to begin a few months ago.
Yesterday, it was announced that New York state would begin their program in February, 2010 and several other states would follow suit during March and April. California’s program should begin in March,
Authorized by the U.S. Economic Stimulus Legislation earlier this year, states would receive monies from a $300 million package to turn in older appliances (namely clothes washers, dishwashers, central and air conditioners, refrigerators, and heat pumps).
Consumers can apply for up to $150 in rebates when they purchase energy star and other energy-efficient appliances.
Please contact Feder’s Distributors for more information about the program or energy star appliances and air conditioners!

“Clunker” Appliance Plan Details Begin To Emerge — Slowly
A little more information is beginning to surface about the “Clunker” Appliance Program.
Once implemented in November, consumers would be eligible for up to $250 rebates on energy star refrigerators, front-load washers, and other kitchen appliances and air conditioners.
The state of California should be getting about $35 million towards the program and should see utility companies, manufacturers and retailers (Feder’s Distributors would be included!) working together to help bring more energy-efficient appliances to our communities.
Many details are still unclear and one of the major pieces of this plan still needs to be ironed out: what will happen with the old appliances and would a recycling requirement be the kicker?
Typically, disposal of older appliances is much easier and cost-efficient. However, placing appliances in landfills can be extremely damaging to our environment and would have a negative effect on such a program.
Although difficult and costly, recycling old appliances should be the way to go. But the plan is still incomplete and does not yet specify who would be responsible for this.
As more information is released, we will continue to keep you updated here.
