…More incentive to buy a new energy-efficient appliance under the Retrofit Home Program, now in its second year. In case you missed this story last week:

The program allows residents to get $700 toward an Energy Star-rated refrigerator, $2,500 for improvements to the home’s “envelope” — which refers to the walls, ceilings and floors — $425 for an efficient dishwasher and $400 for a window air conditioner. Money is also available for other appliances.

For more information about income guidelines and how to get started, call the village at 815-877-5432.
