(AUSTIN) This weekend marks the second annual Energy Star Sales Tax Holiday an event designed to help Texas consumers buy energy efficient appliances that will help lower their utility bills. The tax holiday provides a great incentive to help consumers replace old energy-zapping appliances and join statewide energy conservation efforts.
During the three-day tax holiday May 2325 Texas shoppers get a break from state and local sales taxes when they purchase certain energy-efficient appliances and other household equipment bearing an Energy Star label. Shoppers can expect to save about $3 million overall in state and local sales taxes during the event.
The annual savings in average utility costs can really add up after purchasing an Energy Star product. A programmable thermostat can yield $204 in annual savings. A new energy efficient central air conditioner unit can save $190 per year. An Energy Star clothes washer can save up to $55 annually.
