SALES TAX HOLIDAY ON ENERGY STAR APPLIANCES
FRIDAY NOVEMBER 6 through SUNDAY NOVEMBER 8, 2009
Appliance stores hope the state's second annual sales tax holiday on Energy Star appliances this weekend will help stimulate business.
To increase the chances of that happening, many retailers are extending hours and offering additional discounts on top of the tax savings to try to entice shoppers to buy.
The tax holiday, works much like the school supplies sales tax holiday North Carolina holds each August, except that now it's Energy Star-rated appliances that are exempt from the tax.
In Catawba County, where the combined sales tax rate is 8 percent, a consumer would save $40 in taxes on a $500 appliance.
Savings are likely to be greater than that, as appliance dealers hold promotions and sales in conjunction with the sales tax holiday.
Lowe's Home Improvement stores are among major retailers in North Carolina offering discounts on appliances this weekend.
Items included in the tax holiday are products that meet the Energy Star requirements and are authorized to carry the Energy Star label, including clothes washers, freezers, refrigerators, central air conditioners, room air conditioners, air source heat pumps, geothermal heat pumps, ceiling fans, dehumidifiers and programmable thermostats.
While dishwashers are not included, some dealers will discount Energy Star-rated models this weekend.
There is no price limit or ceiling for products to qualify.
Items purchased for use in a business do not qualify for tax exemption.
Energy Star-qualified products use up to 50 percent less energy than older models or less-efficient counterparts currently on the market.

I am a REALTOR in The Hickory NC area. I am very easy to get along with and I am very focused on my clients needs. I also love referrals. Call me or email me today I always like to meet new people.
I am a REALTOR specializing in the Greater Hickory, NC Metro area. Included in that area is Hickory, Newton, Conover, Granite Falls, Mountain View, Hudson, Lenoir, Alexander County as well as Eastern Burke County. I have recently spent alot of time and money upgrading my website www.MikeKellyJr.com please feel free to check it out. I am a member of the Catawba Valley MLS as well as the Charlotte MLS.
My wife Kathleen Kelly works with me as a REALTOR. She focuses on our interent marketing program. It is great working together and our individual strengths make us a great business team.
I am a very easy going person but I am very agressive when it comes to giving my customers what they need and deserve.
I work with Century 21 American Homes in Hickory NC. It is the fastest growing real estate company in our area.
I started my real estate career as an investor. I would buy a house fix it up and sell it for a profit. I have done this several times and still try to do a few a year now but since I earned my real estate liscense in 2006, I have been fully committed to mastering this craft. I truly belive that the Hickory NC area is primed for greatness and I want to be there when it happens. I am very excited about the future prospects of our area and hopefully over the years others will be as well.
If I had to pick something to specialize in then I would say that it would be helping move-up buyers find the right home for their needs. One of the best ways to help someone find the right home is to visit their current home to see what they like and what they dislike about their current home, it also gives you an understanding of how they currently live and decorate and it is easier for you to picture them living somewhere else.
I am also good with the out of town buyer, since I have only lived in the area for about three years, it is still fresh in my mind the special nuances our area has to offer a person who is not from the area.
I recently earned my GRI and CRS designations from the NC Association of Realtors.
When you see the letters "GRI" after an agent's name, you can count on receiving the knowledge and guidance you need to make your transaction go smoothly. In short, you can count on getting the best service available from a real estate professional.
The Certified Residential Specialist (CRS) is the highest Designation awarded to sales associates in the residential sales field. The CRS Designation recognizes professional accomplishments in both experience and education.
I am very proud of this accomplishment and I hope that the knowledge I have gained from that experience will allow me to help my clients even more.
I am very excited to announce that I have received my EcoBroker® Designation. Through this great program I learned about the latest topics influencing the way potential clients buy and sell real estate when it comes to energy efficiency as well as "living green". Being an EcoBroker® will help me stay current with the growing green real estate market and the opportunities it presents. Many real estate professionals focus on the normal visual features of a home. This program has changed the way I look at things though allowing me to focus on the things that make my properties stand out from the crowd from an energy efficiency standpoint. I do not think that living green is just a fad as many people in the industry believe. With energy prices getting more and more expensive I think that people will truly embrace being green if for no other reason than just from a cost savings standpoint. Look for more information in the coming weeks as explore the opportunities being an EcoBroker® presents.
I am a big fan of referrals so please feel free to refer clients to me if you are from out of the area(or in the area too if it is someone who you can not help). I will happily pay 25% to a licensed agent.
May 16, 2007 Mike Kelly made selling our home a great experience. He took a very difficult situation and made it work by going above and beyond our expectations. If you are looking for a realtor who truly cares about his clients, give Mike a call. I guarantee you will not regret it. We are forever grateful. 01/16/2008 
Wonderful experienceBy Gina L - See Gina L's reviews
Mike Kelly was fantastic! He made the whole experience of finding a new home, which I was extremely scared of, very easy and free of stress. He was professional, always available, and really friendly. You can tell that he really cares about helping you find a new home. I would highly recommend Mike to everyone. You won't regret it!
