After months of waiting, Floridians trying to cash in on two government rebate programs may get their money. Legislative leaders announced plans today to free up 31 million federal dollars to pay back people who bought energy efficient air conditioners and solar panels for their homes. Incoming House Speaker Dean Cannon says the legislature will make good on the promises when they come back for one day special session November 16th.

“Let’s try and make whole the folks in the HVAC program. Do our best to come up with someway to get some finality and some compensation to folks in our solar program and shut that down and take a more comprehensive look at it in regular session,” said Cannon.

People who bought energy efficient air conditioners will receive a 1,500 dollar check. Solar rebates vary, but can be more than 20-thousand dollars.
