On Friday Nov.6, 2009 we purchased a new heat pump system from a local HVAC dealer for approx. $4,700.00 and received the Manufacturer's Tax Credit Certificate showing that the system we purchased is a product that qualifies for the federal tax credit. When we asked about the North Carolina "Energy Star" sales tax holiday the dealer said it only applied to retail stores like Wallmart, Lowe's, etc. so we had to pay the state and local taxes. As far as I know all requirements to qualify for sales tax exemption were met. The HVAC unit is to be installed at our home. We paid the dealer in full by check that day. The system is to be installed as soon as the dealer receives it from the manufacturer. After getting more information on the sales tax holiday we will now try to get a refund of the taxes that the dealer collected in error from us.

"Hello?" was rude to "Ticked Off." This tax free weekend was first held a year ago but is not a law. "Ticked Off" must be an informed citizen even to purchase an energy efficient appliance. Thank you "Ticked Off" for being a concerned individual. I didn't vote for Bev either. I don't anybody who did.

This weekend tax break has been state law for more than one year, Ticked Off, so I'd suggest that you become a more informed citizen and learn the laws of our state. That and go back to Lowe's and see if they'll refund your taxes for they should have said something too.

Wonder why hot water heaters not included they use tons of electric and a energy efficient one would be better.

I just purchased a $549 EE, Maytag washer from Lowe's, and now this. It would have been nice if our beloved governor had given us fair warning instead of just a 24 hour notice. I am so glad I didn't vote for NC's governor. I sure will never vote for her for anything.
