I like the way my local electric utility does it.
- You call them they pick up your old appliance....... they pay you money........they recycle the inefficient appliance..........If there happens to be a promotional contest you are entered (example contest: whoever trades in the oldest working appliance that month gets $500).
- If you buy an appliance that is energy star you get a rebate. If you buy energy star home electronics you get a rebate. If you buy and install energy star windows and/or doors you get a rebate.
- Free energy efficiency assesments. If you improve your homes score by a set amount in between assesments you will get a cash bonus.
- Free home kits including light bulbs, window insulation, hot water tank insulation, faucet aerators, showerheads, pipe wrap, etc.
