DENVER (AP) -- Interest is so intense in a program making $18 million in rebates available to Coloradans for energy-saving appliances and home improvements that the website to make reservations has been overwhelmed at times.
Nearly 8,600 rebates had been reserved as of 3 p.m. Monday through the Recharge Colorado program. It was the first day rebates could be reserved and there was already a wait list for tankless water heaters.
The federal stimulus funds are expected to be enough for about 75,000 rebates for such appliances as dishwashers, washing machines, refrigerators and hot-water heaters. Money is also available for insulation and other ways to make homes more energy-efficient.
Reservations can be made through the website: www.rechargecolorado.com or the call center, 1-800-462-0184.
