Cash for Clunkers
Rebate Program Offered by Thor Appliance Company
(LOS
ANGELES) – Thor Appliance Company, a leading supplier
of
specialty home
appliances, announced today that it will offer a factory rebate of
$200.00 on
the company’s full line if ENERGY STAR® laundry appliances.
The rebate program begins immediately and
will continue while inventory lasts.
While
the goal of the program is to help consumers replace inefficient
top-loading
washing machines with energy saving front loaders, customers do not
need to
trade-in clunkers to qualify for the program. “We
realize that consumers want to purchase
more efficient appliances
but are waiting to see if a government rebate will be available,”
said Matthew
Lee, vice president of sales for Thor Appliances. “We
hope that our rebate will jumpstart the
sale of green appliances while Washington, D.C. decides if and when
they’ll
provide their own incentives.”
Although
the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has indicated that a cash for
appliance
clunkers rebate may be on the horizon, there is currently no program in
place. Additionally, the DOE has not
announced which appliance categories will be covered or the dollar
amounts of
the rebates.
Thor’s
$200.00 factory rebate will be taken at the time of sale and will apply
to the
company’s entire line of compact laundry machines sold online at www.ThorAppliances.com. The rebate applies to Thor’s standard
retail
pricing, which remains
unchanged. The program will not include hauling away old appliances nor
will
the company accept clunkers as trade-ins.
Los
Angeles-based Thor Appliance Company is a leading supplier of specialty
in-home
appliances. Thor currently offers a complete line of compact laundry
machines,
including the company's signature washer
dryer combination.
