Maryland’s tax free shopping weekend for many Energy Star products is this weekend, February 18-21, 2012.
The Energy Star items that qualify, per the Maryland Comptroller’s website:
- Air conditioners
- Clothes washers
- Furnaces
- Heat pumps
- Boilers
- Solar water heaters (tax-exempt at all times now)
- Refrigerators
- Dehumidifiers
- Programmable thermostats
- Compact fluorescent light bulbs
The State of Maryland also holds a tax free shopping week in August for footwear and clothing under $100.
Lowe’s in Timonium emailed even more savings to subscribers yesterday, so it may be a great time to take advantage if you need some new appliances!
Solar water heaters are great because they are eco-friendly. I myself use solar water heaters at home because they are energy efficient and of course cost less.
