Energy Efficient = Rebates!! Or not...


We were looking forward to getting back come ca$h in rebates for our energy efficient products (central air conditioner, water heater & furnace) and we were sure we'd be eligible.  After all Wayne Homes does boast their energy smart guarantee.  Wellllllll, let's hope that the materials they used to build our home are more efficient than the products they installed in our home, because as it turns out we weren't eligible for any rebates.  I'll post a breakdown of our utility bills once we see how much of a hit we take for running our "not efficient enough to be eligible for an energy efficient rebate" air conditioner...




On a brighter note, the clothes washer and refrigerator we purchased ourselves WERE eligible!

2 Year Post Build Update: Our 2 year energy efficient guarantee earned us almost $600 back in a rebate!!  Glad we saved our statements for gas and electric.  To be honest, we didn't even think our bills are that high.
