I was hoping to get a new dryer this weekend, but was too busy to select one.  The California Appliance Rebate program commenced April 22, 2010.  Three residential appliances are eligible to receive rebates:

Clothes washers (rebate $100), refrigerators (rebate $200), and room/window air conditioners (rebate $50).

These rebates are in addition to existing rebates  offered by California's utilities or appliance manufacturers.

The only “catch” is that your old appliance must be recycled (not donated or sold).
 
To qualify, the appliances must be ENERGY STAR-listed, meet CEE tier standards, and certified to the Energy Commission as meeting all state and federal appliance efficiency standards. Please visit the Cash For Appliances website  for more information.
