Our dishwasher hasn’t worked since 2007 and the refrigerator makes a very unhealthy noise more and more frequently. Methinks it’s time for new appliances. Are you in the same boat? Well put your credit card away, because a new “Cash for Refrigerators” program is coming.
“Beginning late this fall, the program authorizes rebates of $50 to $200 for purchases of high-efficiency household appliances… Unlike the clunkers auto program, consumers won’t have to trade in their old appliances.”
