Sears Helps Pennsylvania Residents Access Up to $500 in Rebates on ENERGY STAR®-Qualified Home Heating Equipment

Sears Home Services™ is helping Pennsylvania residents access the $11,944,000 in rebates available for ENERGY STAR®-qualified home heating and systems beginning April 21 as part of the "Cash for Appliances" rebate program. As the 2010 ENERGY STAR Retail Partner of the Year, Sears has revamped its Web site, Sears.com/energystar to include even more tools to help Americans learn about ENERGY STAR, search for rebates and credits, find the right appliance and dispose of the old one properly, and take small steps to make a big difference. In an effort to help Pennsylvania residents better manage the rebate process, the Sears site also includes an interactive map, energy savings rebate calculator and information about ENERGY STAR products that qualify for the state rebates so customers can quickly and easily identify their favorite brands and models that are available for in-store purchase.

"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-qualified models," said Stuart Reed, senior vice president and president of Sears Home Services. "This rebate money will go quickly, so we encourage our customers in Pennsylvania to take advantage of the stimulus plan as early as possible to ensure access to the state funds."

Under the U.S. Department of Energy-approved appliance rebate plan for Pennsylvania, residents purchasing ENERGY STAR-qualified home heating systems, including non-electric water heaters, furnaces and boilers, qualify for rebates from $100 to $500 (1). In order to qualify for the below rebates, residents are required to replace an existing, less-efficient heating system with a high-efficiency model.

  --  $100-$200 for water heaters
  --  $200-$300 for furnaces
  --  $250-$500 for boilers

For Pennsylvania homeowners interested in purchasing energy-efficient, ENERGY STAR-qualified home heating systems, Sears Home Services will assist shoppers from start to finish. They can:

  --  Provide information about which systems qualify for state rebates
      online at Sears.com/energystar
  --  Direct consumers to 1-800-766-6298 to arrange an in-home appointment

The Sears project consultant who performs the home visit will provide details at that time on eligible ENERGY STAR-qualified HVAC systems and applicable rebates. The project consultant will also supply the required forms and certificates so the Pennsylvania homeowner can apply for the appropriate rebates. After installation of the new, ENERGY STAR-qualified system is complete, Sears Home Services will dispose of the old, inefficient HVAC unit according to the appropriate Pennsylvania State laws.

For full rebate updates and details, and to learn more, please visit Sears.com/energystar or call 1-800-766-6298.
