Sears Helps Pennsylvania Residents Access Up to $500 in Rebates on ENERGY STAR(R)-Qualified Home Heating Equipment

             Sears Also Enhances Sears.com/energystar Web Site

    HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill., April 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Sears Home
Services(TM) is helping Pennsylvania residents access the $11,944,000 in
rebates available for ENERGY STAR®-qualified home heating and systems
beginning April 21 as part of the "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 Pennsylvania 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-qualified models," said Stuart Reed, senior vice president
and president of Sears Home Services. "This rebate money will go quickly,
so we encourage our customers in Pennsylvania 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
Pennsylvania, residents purchasing ENERGY STAR-qualified home heating
systems, including non-electric water heaters, furnaces and boilers,
qualify for rebates from $100 to $500 (1). In order to qualify for the
below rebates, residents are required to replace an existing,
less-efficient heating system with a high-efficiency model.



 >
    --  $100-$200 for water heaters
    --  $200-$300 for furnaces
    --  $250-$500 for boilers
    For Pennsylvania homeowners interested in purchasing energy-efficient,
ENERGY STAR-qualified home heating systems, Sears Home Services will assist
shoppers from start to finish. They can:



 >
    --  Provide information about which systems qualify for state rebates online
        at Sears.com/energystar
    --  Direct consumers to 1-800-766-6298 to arrange an in-home appointment
    The Sears project consultant who performs the home visit will provide
details at that time on eligible ENERGY STAR-qualified HVAC systems and
applicable rebates. The project consultant will also supply the required
forms and certificates so the Pennsylvania homeowner can apply for the
appropriate rebates. After installation of the new, ENERGY STAR-qualified
system is complete, Sears Home Services will dispose of the old,
inefficient HVAC unit according to the appropriate Pennsylvania State laws.

    For full rebate updates and details, and to learn more, please visit
