Virginia is holding its fourth annual tax holiday on energy-efficient products.Gov. Bob McDonnell said Monday the tax holiday will begin on Oct. 8 and run through Oct. 11.
During that time, residential consumers can save money by buying sales-tax exempt heat pumps, dishwashers, washing machines, insulation, toilets, showerheads and other products.
Items must be priced at $2,500 or less and certified as being energy efficient with the Energy Star and WaterSense designations. Used items, as well as those purchased online, also will be exempt from sales tax.
McDonnell said everyone needs to do their part to use energy more wisely and conserve natural resources.
