Hawaii Energy Efficiency Program

The Honolulu Star-Bulletin reported recently on the Hawaii Energy Efficiency Program, www.hawaiienergy.com. This program provides rebates to households for purchasing Energy Star-approved appliances.

The eligible appliances include:

• ceiling fans ($40)
  
• clothes washers ($50)
  
• dishwashers ($50)
  
• refrigerators ($50)
  
• window air conditioners ($75)
  
• ductless split air conditioners ($110)

Hawaii has also applied to participate in a federal rebate program, so there may be the possibility soon to benefit from both state and federal programs.

And don't forget about ShopIPL, an online energy efficiency store for faith communities and their members sponsored by Interfaith Power & Light. You can get significant discounts on energy efficiency products at this site.
