STATE ENERGY EFFICIENCY APPLIANCE REBATE PROGRAM REGISTRATION UPDATE

The [Iowa] Office of Energy Independence (OEI) announces updated information 
regarding the State of Iowa Energy Efficiency Appliance Rebate program. A 
program-specific rebate registration web site and toll-free number are now 
available for consumers and retailers to review at: 
www.IowaApplianceRebate.com  and by calling 1-877-267-7495. These are also 
available for review on the OEI Web site at: www.energy.iowa.gov . Consumers 
will not be able to reserve a rebate until March 1, 2010 at 8:00 AM by 
calling the number or visiting the site.

Part of the Federal economic stimulus, the Iowa EEARP, will offer 
approximately 9,000 Iowa homeowners a rebate for replacing their old 
appliance with a qualifying energy efficient model purchased from an Iowa 
retailer.

“We anticipate that each Iowan who participates in this program will be able 
to save hundreds of dollars over the life of their new and more efficient, 
appliance,” said Roya Stanley, Director of the Iowa Office of Energy 
Independence. “Buying and using energy efficient appliances helps consumers 
save money while at the same time they are creating jobs and boosting the 
economy.”

The rebate program is open to Iowa residents only and rebate dollars are 
available on a first come first served basis. Rebates will only be eligible 
from the approved appliance list and purchases must be made on or after 
March 1, 2010.

We urge consumers and retailers to review the rebate program eligibility and 
frequently asked questions (FAQ’s) at: 
www.energy.iowa.gov/files/ARQAforConsumers.pdf, and the appliance guidelines 
at: www.energy.iowa.gov/files/ProductGuidelineRebates2152010.pdf.
