Coming: The State of Florida announces a new Cash for Clunker Air Conditioner Plan

Florida State officials have approved a new incentive program for homeowners to replace their old central air condition with new Energy Star rated air conditioning and air source heat pumps purchased before the beginning of the year. This will be a flat fee rebate which is yet to be determined.

The program will not be retroactive for units purchased prior to the official start date. Window and room air conditioning systems will not be included.

The rebates can be used in combination with the federal energy tax credit which will mean even greater savings. Unlike the Cash for Clunker Appliance Program reservations for the program will not be necessary.

In addition to the money homeowners will save by using this program and the federal tax credit, their ongoing household operating costs will be reduced by adding an Energy Star rated air conditioning system.

The dates and details have not been announced except that the air conditioner has to be bought by the end of the year. The money for funding the program is coming from the federal energy stimulus program and the money has to be used by the end of the year.

The Cash for Clunker Appliance Program ran out of money within 48 hours. Since the amount of funding has not been announced, it is a good idea to plan ahead.
