Thinking about buying new appliances?

If you buy an appliance this weekend - Saturday through Monday - you will not have to pay taxes on Energy Star appliances in Texas!

The products qualifying for the exemption are:

• air conditioners priced under $6,000 (room and central units)
• clothes washers (but not clothes dryers*)
• ceiling fans
• dehumidifiers
• dishwashers
• light bulbs (incandescent and fluorescent)
• programmable thermostats
• refrigerators priced under $2,000
  * Because most dryers use similar amounts of energy, Energy Star does not label clothes dryers.

So, if you were thinking about replacing an old appliance, consider an upgrade to a more energy efficient appliance and save a bit of money this weekend. It applies to the purchase price, installation, delivery, shipping and handling.

Happy upgrading!
