Sears Helps North Dakota Residents Access Up to $150 in Rebates on ENERGY STAR(R)-Qualified Refrigerators Sears Blue Appliance Crew(TM) Also Enhances Sears.com/energystar Web Site

HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill., March 31, 2010 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ — The Sears Blue Appliance Crew(TM) is helping North Dakota residents access the $615,000 in rebates available for ENERGY STAR(R)-qualified appliances from April 6 until funds are exhausted as part of the state’s “Cash for Appliances” rebate program.

As the 2010 ENERGY STAR Retail Partner of the Year, Sears has revamped its Web site, Sears.com/energystar to include even more tools to help Americans learn about ENERGY STAR, search for rebates and credits, find the right appliance and dispose of the old one properly, and take small steps to make a big difference. In an effort to help North Dakota residents better manage the rebate process, the Sears site also includes an interactive map, energy savings rebate calculator and information about ENERGY STAR products that qualify for the state rebates so customers can quickly and easily identify their favorite brands and models that are available for in-store purchase.

“At Sears, we’re always looking for ways to make it easier and more affordable for Americans to swap out their old, inefficient appliances for new, ENERGY STAR models,” said Doug Moore, president of Home Appliances for Sears. “This rebate money will go quickly, so we encourage our customers in North Dakota to take advantage of the stimulus plan as early as possible to ensure access to the state funds.”

Under the U.S. Department of Energy-approved appliance rebate plan for North Dakota, residents purchasing ENERGY STAR-qualified refrigerators are eligible for rebates up to $150(I). In order to qualify, residents must pre-register for rebates online and submit proof of purchase within 30 days. Furthermore, North Dakota residents are required to replace their old refrigerators and provide disposal documentation through a qualified landfill or retailer, such as Sears.

For North Dakota residents interested in purchasing energy-efficient, ENERGY STAR-qualified appliances the Sears Blue Appliance Crew will assist shoppers from start to finish. They can:

* Provide information about which appliances qualify for state rebates in store and online at Sears.com/energystar

* Help shoppers find rebates – searching by product category and customer’s zip code

* Submit rebates for purchases electronically, before they leave the store

* Provide customers with the recycling documentation required in order to receive the state rebates

* Remove customers’ old appliances and dispose of them in a responsible manner through the Sears RAD program
