I feel about this the same way I do about the first-time home-owners deal. I’m not in favor of it, but if I qualify, I’ll take the money. (I bought an energy efficient washer this summer, so I hope it’s retro-active!)

I think this is a good idea and if it’s retroactive, I will certainly be taking advantage. I got all my energy efficient appliances and upgrades on my house last year.

Our central air is getting old, new system about $8,000 each (two systems). I'd jump at this deal. Both have needed repairs that are getting more expensive. .-= JoeTaxpayer´s lastest post ..Mind Mapping =-.
