—
Another ENERGY STAR tax holiday is under way in West Virginia, which means consumers might be able to save several hundred dollars on certain energy-efficient household appliances.
Sales and use taxes will be waived through Nov. 30 on ENERGY STAR appliances valued at $5,000 or less that are for noncommercial home or personal use.
In addition, West Virginia residents can mail-in obtain rebates under the state’s Energy Efficient Appliance Rebate Program, when they buy qualifying clothes washers, dish washers, refrigerators, freezers and room air conditioners.
They must certify that the purchases are made from participating West Virginia retailers and replace an existing appliance. Retailers must take the old appliance out of service and recycle it.
The ENERGY STAR program has proved successful in both Maryland and West Virginia and has saved residents of both states significant sums of money while helping to reduce power consumption and pollution.
Americans using ENERGY STAR appliances saved enough energy last year to power 10 million homes and avoid greenhouse gas emissions from 30 million cars while saving $17 billion on their utility bills.
