To encourage people to buy energy-efficient appliances and equipment, Energy Star partners (including utilities, state agencies, and retailers), occasionally sponsor special offers such as sales-tax exemptions, credits, or rebates on qualified products. And we're not talking chump change here-if you installed a heat pump in New Jersey that met certain energy standards, for instance, you could qualify for a $350 to $450 rebate under the state's Clean Energy program.
To find credit and money-back offers in your area, punch in your zip code at Energy Star's Special Offer/Rebate Finder and check off the boxes next to your planned or recent purchases. It gets better: If you made energy-efficient improvements to your domicile in 2006 or 2007, you may be eligible for federal tax credits, which reduce the amount of income tax you have to pay when Uncle Sam comes a-calling.
