NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- A government program that gives consumers rebates on purchases of energy-efficient household appliances is ramping up in states across the country.
The $300 million 'Cash for Appliances' program, first announced last year, is funded by the government's American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and is similar to other federal programs like Cash for Caulkers and Cash for Clunkers.
AT THE STATE LEVEL
Georgia, which also launched its program Friday, is offering consumers rebates of up to $199 on items such as air-source heat pumps, solar-powered water heaters and gas boilers.
California received the most funding, with $35.3 million. The state already has incentives in place of energy-efficient appliances, but will begin offering additional rebates under the federal program in April.
West Virginia received the second largest amount of funding. The state plans to start its $23.3 million program in April.
Oklahoma, which had the smallest budget at $1.9 million, will also start its program in April.
