Virginia is planning a rebate program this spring to help residents replace older, inefficient appliances with energy-efficient appliances.
The program is one of 56 State Energy-Efficient Appliance Rebate Programs, popularly known as Cash for Appliances, that are being set up in the United States and six U.S. territories with the help of federal stimulus money.
