This morning my husband suggested that we buy our new freezer tomorrow. I replied, “What’s the rush?” He thought it would be a great time to buy, since he just watched a Sears commercial about the Illinois appliance rebate program — where Illinois residents save 15% on energy-efficient appliances tomorrow (9/24/10).

The Illinois Appliance Rebate is only one day  – September 24, 2010.  The appliance instant rebate is 15% off qualifying purchases. The program starts at 8 a.m. CST at participating retailers and ends at 9 p.m. CST or when the funds have been depleted. You’d better get there early (some stores are opening at 7a.m.) to take advantage of the savings before the funds run out!

Do you need to replace an appliance? The eligible products include ENERGY STAR®:

  • Freezers
  • Clothes washers
  • Dishwashers
  • Refrigerators
