The ENERGY STAR appliance rebates in Illinois are not available for dryers, so if you need one now, you should go ahead and buy one.

ENERGY STAR clothes washers are eligible for the rebate; however, the rebates aren’t available until April 16, 2010. If you can wait, the washer will be marked down 15 percent in stores, and you can receive a $50 mail-in rebate for recycling your old clothes washer.
