Sears launches Energy Star Rebate site

Hoffman Estates, Ill. Hoffman Estates, Ill.-based Sears has launched a new online tool to help their customers identify appliance rebates offered by their state through the Energy Star Appliance Rebate Program.

The program, which is federally funded, is operated by the individual states, each with its own regulations on what qualifies for a rebate and how much.

Customers can log onto sears.com/energystar to learn what Energy Star appliances qualify for rebates in their state, how much of a rebate they qualify for and access the proper paperwork to apply for that rebate.

"At Sears, we're always looking for ways to make it easier and more affordable for Americans to swap out their old, inefficient appliances for new, Energy Star models," said Doug Moore, president of Home Appliances for Sears.
